As I was reading this morning I found something interesting. Probably because in the new bible I am reading the two accounts are side by side.
In 1 Samuel chapter 31 it says that Saul fell on his sword (committed suicide).
In 2 Samuel chapter 1 it says that an Amalekite killed him, and then David had him executed for killing the Lord's anointed.
1 Chronicles chapter 10 agrees with 1 Samuel.
What think thee?
