1 Chronicles 10:4

10:4 Saul told his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and stab me with it. Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come and torture me.” ¹  But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.

1 Chronicles 21:15

21:15 God sent an angel ²  to ravage ³  Jerusalem. As he was doing so, ⁴  the Lord watched ⁵  and relented from ⁶  his judgment. ⁷  He told the angel who was destroying, “That’s enough! ⁸  Stop now!” ⁹ 

Now the Lord’s angel was standing near the threshing floor of Ornan ¹⁰  the Jebusite.
