The Philistines continued chasing Saul and his sons. They caught them and killed them. The Philistines killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki Shua.
Then Saul said to the helper who carried his armor, “Pull out your sword and use it to kill me. Then these foreigners will not hurt me and make fun of me when they come.” But the helper was afraid. He refused to kill Saul. So Saul used his own sword to kill himself by falling on it.
