And the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he fears exceedingly, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it; 5and the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and falls, he also, on the sword, and dies; 6and Saul dies, and his three sons, and all his house—they died together. 7And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
