1 Samuel 31:2-4

2The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines 1killed 2Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua the sons of Saul.

33The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers 4hit him; and he was badly wounded by the archers.

45Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise 6these uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. 7So Saul took his sword and fell on it.
