[1] {hit him}
Cf.
# 2Sa 1:10 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.

Scofield Reference Notes (1917) Book Introductions The Second Book of
Samuel
As First Samuel marks the failure of man in Eli, Saul, and even Samuel,
so Second Samuel marks the restoration of order through the enthroning of
God's king, David. This book also records the establishment of Israel's
political centre in Jerusalem (2Sa 5.6-12), and her religious centre in
Zion (2Sa 5.7; 6.1-17). When all was thus ordered, Jehovah established
the great Davidic Covenant (7.8-17) out of which all kingdom truth is
henceforth developed. David, in his "last words" (23.1-7), describes the
millennial kingdom yet to be.
The book is in four parts: I. From the death of Saul to the anointing of
David over Judah, in Hebron, 1.1-27. II. From the anointing in Hebron to
the establishment of David over united Israel, 2.1-5.25. III. From the
conquest of Jerusalem to the rebellion of Absalom, 6.1-14.33. IV. From
the rebellion of Absalom to the purchase of the temple-site, 15.1-24.25.
The events recorded in II Samuel cover a period of 38 years (Ussher).
