And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
Then he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and slay me, that men do not say of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Then said Saul to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
