3. And the milchamah became intense against Sha'ul, and the archers overtook him; and he was mortally wounded by the archers.
4. Then said Sha'ul unto his noseh keli (armor bearer), Draw thy cherev, and thrust me through therewith; lest these arelim (uncircumcised ones) come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his noseh keli would not; for he was very afraid. Therefore Sha'ul took a cherev, and fell upon it.
5. And when his noseh keli saw that Sha'ul was dead, he fell likewise upon his cherev, and died with him.
