13 “You must not murder.*+

23 As for A·hithʹo·phel, he saw that his counsel had not been acted upon,+ and he proceeded to saddle an ass and rise up and go off to his house at his own city.+ Then he gave commands to his household+ and strangled+ himself* and thus died.+ So he was buried+ in the burial place of his forefathers.

18 And it came about that as soon as Zimʹri saw that the city had been captured, he then came into the dwelling tower of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over himself with fire, so that he died,+

4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer:+ “Draw your sword+ and run me through with it, that these uncircumcised+ men may not come and certainly deal abusively+ with me.” And his armor-bearer was unwilling,+ because he was very much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell upon it.+

5 So he threw the silver pieces into the temple* and withdrew, and went off and hanged himself.+
