1 Samuel 31:4-5 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me. ”But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. 
Putting my hope in another person instead of God can lead me to death. Father, may my hope always be in You!
