1 Chronicles 10:4  Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and  thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come  and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was  sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 

1 Chronicles 10:5  And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell  likewise on the sword, and died.

Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
