Teks -- 1 Chronicles 10:4 (NET)

10:4 Saul told his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and stab me with it. Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come and torture me.” But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: 1Ch 10:4 - his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid

He was, of course, placed in the same perilous condition as Saul. But it is probable that the feelings that restrained him from complying with Saul's wish were a profound respect for royalty, mingled with apprehension of the shock which such a catastrophe would give to the national feelings and interests.

Defender: 1Ch 10:4 - took a sword

This account of Saul's death closely agrees with the account in 1Sa 31:3-6 and may even have been copied from it. However, it seems to conflict with the account given by the young Amalekite who told David that he had slain Saul (2Sa 1:2-10). Apparently, the attempted suicide by Saul had not quite succeeded, so what his armor-bearer was afraid to do, the Amalekite did without hesitation. Or, perhaps, he merely told David he had slain Saul, thinking thereby to gain favor with David. In either case, his presumption cost him his own life (2Sa 1:14-16)."
