1 Samuel 31:4-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

6. So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died that day together.

7. And when the men of Israel on the other side of the valley and beyond the Jordan saw that the Israelites had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
