1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went fierce against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armorbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
