1 Chronicles 10:4-10

4Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me.” But his armor-bearer would not do it because he was terrified. Then Saul took his sword and fell on it.

5When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died.

6So Saul and his three sons died — his whole house died together.

7When all the men of Israel in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. So the Philistines came and settled in them.

8The next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons dead on Mount Gilboa.

9They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to spread the good news to their idols and the people.

10Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his skull in the temple of Dagon.
