1 Samuel 31:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 31
2 Les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkischua, fils de Saül.
3 L’effort du combat porta sur Saül; les archers l’atteignirent, et le blessèrent grièvement.
4 Saül dit alors à celui qui portait ses armes: Tire ton épée, et m’en transperce, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent me percer et me faire subir leurs outrages. Celui qui portait ses armes ne voulut pas, car il était saisi de crainte. Et Saül prit son épée, et se jeta dessus.
5 Celui qui portait les armes de Saül, le voyant mort, se jeta aussi sur son épée, et mourut avec lui.
6 Ainsi périrent en même temps, dans cette journée, Saül et ses trois fils, celui qui portait ses armes, et tous ses gens.
