5 The young man saw that Saul was dead, so he too threw himself on his sword and died.

6 So Saul and his three sons all died together, and none of his descendants ever ruled.

7 When the Israelites who lived in Jezreel Valley heard that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and ran off. Then the Philistines came and occupied them.
