3And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4and 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;
5and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house -- together they died.
7And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,
