3
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers .
4
Then said Saul to his armourbearer , Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid . So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead , he fell likewise on the sword, and died .
6
So Saul died , and his three sons, and all his house died together.
7
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled , and that Saul and his sons were dead , then they forsook their cities, and fled : and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
