Thomsonwhereupon Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and run me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and stab me, and insult me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was struck with horror. Therefore Saul took the sword, and fell on it.
BrentonAnd Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, σπάσαι τὴν ῥομφαίαν σου καὶ ἀποκέντησόν με ἐν αὐτῇ, μὴ ἔλθωσιν οἱ ἀπερίτμητοι οὗτοι καὶ ἀποκεντήσωσί με καὶ ἐμπαίξωσιν ἐμοί· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα· καὶ ἔλαβε Σαοὺλ τὴν ῥομφαίαν, καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.

ThomsonAnd when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword, and died with him.

BrentonAnd the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
GreekΚαὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τῆς κοιλάδος καὶ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι ἔφυγον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταλείπουσι τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν καὶ φεύγουσι· καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐταῖς.

BrentonAnd they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
GreekΚαὶ ἀποστρέφουσιν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐξέδυσαν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων, κύκλῳ εὐαγγελίζοντες τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ τῷ λαῷ.
