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.
Entonces Saúl le dijo a su escudero: 'Saca tu espada y mátame con ella, para que estos paganos no vengan y me torturen.' Pero su escudero no quiso hacerlo porque estaba aterrorizado. Así que Saúl tomó una espada y se dejó caer sobre ella.
Saúl se quitó la vida con su propia espada después de que su escudero se negara a matarlo por temor a los enemigos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred during the final battle between Israel and the Philistines on Mount Gilboa, where Saul's army was being defeated. Saul had been wounded by Philistine archers and knew that capture would mean torture and humiliation. The 'uncircumcised' refers to the Philistines, who unlike the Israelites, did not practice circumcision as a sign of their covenant with God.
