Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.

When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.

On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
