1. NOW THE Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before them and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2. And the Philistines followed close after Saul and his sons and overtook them, and the Philistines slew Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3. And the battle raged about Saul, and the archers found and wounded him.
4. Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse and make sport of me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was terrified. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5. When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
