Cf. 2 Samuel 1:10; 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; 2 Samuel 21:12.
