The battle raged around Saul and the archers spotted him and he was wounded by the archers.
The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchi-shua.
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, so that these uncircumcised will not come and torture me.” But his armor-bearer refused to do it, because he was terrified. Therefore Saul took the sword and fell on it.
Then flight will fail for the swift. The mighty will not strengthen his power, The warrior will not save his life.
