1 Samuel 31:1-5
11Now the PhilistinesH6430 were fightingH3898 against IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430 and fellH5307 slainH2491 2on MountH2022 GilboaH1533.
2The PhilistinesH6430 overtookH1692 SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 3killedH5221 4JonathanH3083 and AbinadabH41 and Malchi-shuaH4444 the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586.
35The battleH4421 wentH3513 heavilyH3513 againstH413 SaulH7586, and the archersH3384H376H7198 6hitH4672 him; and he was badlyH3966 woundedH2342 by the archersH3384.
47Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his armorH3627 bearerH5375, “DrawH8025 your swordH2719 and pierceH1856 me throughH1856 with it, otherwiseH6435 8theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 will comeH935 and pierceH1856 me throughH1856 and makeH5953 sportH5953 of me.” But his armorH3627 bearerH5375 wouldH14 not, for he was greatlyH3966 afraidH3372. 9So SaulH7586 tookH3947 his swordH2719 and fellH5307 on it.
5When his armorH3627 bearerH5375 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was deadH4191, he alsoH1571 fellH5307 on his swordH2719 and diedH4191 with him.
