Shmuel Alef 31:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Now the Pelishtim fought against Yisroel; and the anshei Yisroel fled from before the Pelishtim, and fell down chalalim (slain ones) on Mt Gilboa.

2. And the Pelishtim followed hard upon Sha'ul and upon his banim; and the Pelishtim slaughtered Yehonatan [Yonatan], and Avinadav, and Malki Shua, the Bnei Sha'ul.

3. And the milchamah became intense against Sha'ul, and the archers overtook him; and he was mortally wounded by the archers.

4. Then said Sha'ul unto his noseh keli (armor bearer), Draw thy cherev, and thrust me through therewith; lest these arelim (uncircumcised ones) come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his noseh keli would not; for he was very afraid. Therefore Sha'ul took a cherev, and fell upon it.

5. And when his noseh keli saw that Sha'ul was dead, he fell likewise upon his cherev, and died with him.

6. So Sha'ul died, and his shloshet banim, and his noseh keli, and kol anashim of him, that same day together.
