1. And the Philistines were fighting against Yisra’ĕl, and the men of Yisra’ĕl fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2. And the Philistines followed hard after Sha’ul and his sons. And the Philistines smote Yehonathan, and Aḇinaḏaḇ, and Malkishua, sons of Sha’ul.
3. And the battle went hard against Sha’ul, and the archers hit him, so that he was severely wounded by the archers.
4. And Sha’ul said to his armour-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and roll themselves on me.” But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Sha’ul took the sword and fell on it.
5. And when his armour-bearer saw that Sha’ul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.
6. Thus Sha’ul died, and three of his sons, and his armour-bearer, also all his men, together on that day.
