13:009:044 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam,
Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these were the sons of Azel.
13:010:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of
Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain
in mount Gilboa.
13:010:002 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his
sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and
Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
13:010:003 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit
him, and he was wounded of the archers.
13:010:004 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust
me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse
me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
13:010:005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise on the sword, and died.
13:010:006 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died
together.
