2. And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
4. Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5. And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.
