1
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4
and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come -- and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
5
and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6
and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house -- together they died.
