1 Chronicles 10:1-8

1Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

2The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchi-shua.

3The battle raged around Saul and the archers spotted him and he was wounded by the archers.

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

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

6So Saul and his three sons died; his whole household died together.

7Now when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and fled. The Philistines then came and lived in them.

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