1 Chronicles 10:3 In-Context

2 The Philistines zeroed in on Saul and his sons and killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua.

3 The battle went hard against Saul - the archers found him and wounded him.

4 Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and finish me off before these pagan pigs get to me and make a sport of my body." But his armor bearer, restrained by both reverence and fear, wouldn't do it.

5 The armor bearer, panicked because Saul was dead, then killed himself.
