Then said Saul to his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.

Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Συρε την ρομφαιαν σου και διαπερασον με δι' αυτης, δια να μη ελθωσιν ουτοι οι απεριτμητοι και με διαπερασωσι και με εμπαιξωσι· πλην ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ηθελε, διοτι εφοβειτο σφοδρα. Οθεν ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την ρομφαιαν και επεσεν επ' αυτην.

Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
