1 Samweli 31:1-5
1
Basi Wafilisti wakapigana na Israeli. Waisraeli wakawakimbia, na wengi wakauawa katika Mlima Gilboa.
2
Wafilisti wakawafuatia kwa bidii Sauli na wanawe, wakawaua Yonathani, Abinadabu na Malki-Shua.
3
Mapigano yakawa makali sana kumzunguka Sauli, nao wapiga upinde wakampata na kumjeruhi vibaya.
4
Sauli akamwambia mbeba silaha wake, “Futa upanga wako unichome nao, la sivyo hawa watu wasiotahiriwa watakuja wanichome na kunidhalilisha.” Lakini mbeba silaha wake akaogopa sana wala hakuweza kufanya hivyo. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukua upanga wake mwenyewe na kuuangukia.
5
Mchukua silaha wake alipoona Sauli amekufa, naye pia akaangukia upanga wake akafa pamoja naye.
