33The battleH4421 wentH3513 heavilyH3513 againstH413 SaulH7586, and the archersH3384H376H7198 foundH4672 him; and he was gravelyH3966 woundedH2342 by the archersH3384.

44Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his armorH3627 bearerH5375, “DrawH8025 your swordH2719 and pierceH1856 me throughH1856 with it, otherwiseH6435 5theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 Philistines will comeH935 and pierceH1856 me throughH1856, and abuseH5953 me.” But his armorH3627 bearerH5375 was unwillingH3808H14, becauseH3588 he wasH3372 veryH3966 fearfulH3372. 6So SaulH7586 tookH3947 7his swordH2719 and fellH5307 on it.
