**hit him**
Cf. [2 Samuel 1:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/1/10); [2 Samuel 21:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/21/12). The order is:
(1) Saul is "hit"--wounded mortally, potentially "slain," by the Philistines;
(2) either to escape agony, or insult by the enemy, he falls upon his sword, and his armour-bearer, supposing him to be dead, slew himself;
(3) but Saul was not dead; raising himself upon his spear, he besought the Amalekite to put him to death. [2 Samuel 1:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/1/10); [2 Samuel 21:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/21/12).

**burnt** Contra. [2 Chronicles 16:14](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/16/14).
