1 Samuel 31:3-4

The Death of Saul

3 y The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was badly wounded by the archers. 4 z Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these a uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and mistreat me." But his armor-bearer would not, b for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword c and fell upon it.
