54 So he quickly called the attendant bearing his weapons and said to him: “Draw your sword and put me to death,+ for fear they should say about me, ‘It was a woman that killed him.’” Immediately his attendant ran him through, 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 run me through and 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.+

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.

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