NASB | 1 Samuel 31:4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 31:4 Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised [Philistines] will come and pierce me through and abuse and mock me." But his armor bearer would not, because he was terrified [of doing such a thing]. So Saul took his sword and fell on it. |
Bible Question (short): Who killed King Saul? |
Question (full): In the end of 1 Samuel, Saul asks his armour-bearer to kill him because he is wounded. When his armour-bearer refuses because he is scared, it says "Saul took his own sword and fell on it." (1 Sam. 31:4) Then his armour-bearer also killed himself. Then, in the very first chapter of 2 Samuel, an Amalekite comes to David to boast that he has killed Saul. This can't be the armour-bearer since he died with Saul. So who killed Saul? |
