Entonces Saúl le dijo a su escudero: 'Saca tu espada y mátame con ella, para que estos paganos no me capturen y me torturen.' Pero su escudero no quiso hacerlo porque tenía mucho miedo. Entonces Saúl tomó su propia espada y se arrojó sobre ella.
Saúl se quitó la vida con su propia espada cuando su escudero se negó a matarlo por temor a ser capturado por los paganos.
