1 Chronicles 10:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ The fighting was heavy around Saul. The archers shot Saul with their arrows and wounded him.

⁴ Then Saul said to the helper who carried his armor, “Pull out your sword and use it to kill me. Then these foreigners^[a] will not hurt me and make fun of me when they come.”

But the helper was afraid. He refused to kill Saul. So Saul used his own sword to kill himself by falling on it. ⁵ When the helper saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died.
