Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 10:3

_ _ the battle went sore against Saul; and the archers hit him, and he was wounded — The Hebrew words may be thus rendered: “The archers found (attacked) him, and he feared the archers.” He was not wounded, at least not dangerously, when he resolved on committing suicide. The deed was the effect of sudden terror and overwhelming depression of spirits [Calmet].
