1 Samuel 31:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And the Philistines pressed sore upon Saul and his sons, and slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Saul’s sons.
3 And when the battle went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen [a]hit him, and he was sore [b]wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul unto his armor bearer, [c]Draw out thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest the uncircumcised come and thrust me through and mock me: but his armor bearer would not, for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell upon it.
