1. NOW THE Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before [them] and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2. And the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons, and slew Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3. The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers severely wounded him.
4. Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and thrust me through, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was terrified. So Saul took a sword and fell upon it.
5. When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword and died with him.
