1 Chronicles 10:1-8

1Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 beforeH6440 themH6430, and many fellH5307 slainH2491 on MountH2022 GilboaH1533.

2The PhilistinesH6430H310 followed hard afterH1692 SaulH7586H310 and his sonsH1121, and they killedH5221H6430 Saul’sH7586 sonsH1121 JonathanH3129, AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444. 3When the battleH4421 intensifiedH3513 againstH5921 SaulH7586, the archersH3384 overtook himH4672H7198 and wounded himH2342H4480H3384.

4Then SaulH7586 saidH559 toH413 his armor-bearerH5375H3627, “DrawH8025 your swordH2719 and run me throughH1856 with it, orH6435 theseH428 uncircumcised menH6189 will comeH935 and tortureH5953 me!”

But his armor-bearerH5375H3627 was terrifiedH3372H3966 and refusedH3808 to do itH14. So SaulH7586 tookH3947 his own swordH2719 and fellH5307 on itH5921.

5When his armor-bearerH5375H3627 sawH7200 thatH3588 SaulH7586 was deadH4191, heH1931 tooH1571 fellH5307 onH5921 his own swordH2719 and diedH4191. 6So SaulH7586 diedH4191 togetherH3162 with his threeH7969 sonsH1121 and allH3605 his houseH1004.

7When allH3605 the IsraelitesH376H3478 in the valleyH6010 sawH7200 thatH3588 the army had fledH5127 and thatH3588 SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 had diedH4191, they abandonedH5800 their citiesH5892 and ran awayH5127. So the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and occupiedH3427 their cities.

8

The next dayH4283, when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 to stripH6584 the deadH2491, they foundH4672 SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 fallenH5307 on MountH2022 GilboaH1533.
