But his armor-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell upon it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together. 7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those who were across the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
