Saul has been hit by a rogue arrow launched by a Philistine archer. A fatal blow has been dealt. In his last moments Saul asks his armor bearer to put him out of his misery. Listen to the conversation:
1 Samuel 31:4-6
“4 Saul groaned to his armor bearer, “Take your sword and kill me before these pagan Philistines come to run me through and taunt and torture me.”
But his armor bearer was afraid and would not do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When his armor bearer realized that Saul was dead, he fell on his own sword and died beside the king. 6 So Saul, his three sons, his armor bearer, and his troops all died together that same day.”
Now that is a picture of loyalty.
Now if your asking me to go over the falls with you on a wave to show you my loyalty, I say “no way” ice cream headaches hurts in the cold water.
