1 Chronicles 10:4–10

⁴and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, ‘Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come—and have abused me.’ And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it; ⁵and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul is dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth; ⁶and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house—together they died. ⁷And all the men of Israel who are in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.

⁸And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa, ⁹and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings to their idols and the people, ¹⁰and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
