Assisted suicide might be lauded as being humane, and in certain inevitable circumstances, it may seem as the logical thing to do, but there is absolutely no support for that in the Scriptures. When Saul became terminally wounded, because of the injuries he suffered whilst in battle, he requested of his armor bearer to assist him in suicide. The armor bearer recoiled at Saul’s request for even though Saul was fatally wounded, and would have died anyway, it rubbed the servant as being wrong, and he could not do it, with a clear conscience.
1st Samuel 31:2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons. 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. 4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore, Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Later on, an Amalekite came running to David, to bring the “good news” of Saul’s death, and while he was relating the story, he admitted to David that he had assisted Saul in suicide hoping that David would rejoice. But lo and behold, David’s countenance fell, and he together with his fellows began to mourn greatly, to the chagrin of the Amalekite. Soon after David took the man’s life, by the direction of God, as retribution for assisting Saul in what might have seemed at the time to be the logical and humane thing to do.
1st Samuel 31:5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
