Israel Defeated; Saul and Sons Fall

1 Samuel 31:1-7

Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.

And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.

And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.

Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.

And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.

So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.

And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
