1 Samuel 31:2-4
1 Samuel 31
2
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed aJonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua the sons of Saul.
3aThe battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was badly wounded by the archers.
4aThen Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise bthese uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. cSo Saul took his sword and fell on it.
