Rotherham(i)
1 Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons,––and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him,––and he was terrified at the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armour–bearer––Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour–bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
5 And, when his armour–bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour–bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
