OET (OET-RV) He said to the man carrying his equipment, “Draw out your sword and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised Philistines come and pierce me through then torture me as I’m dying.” But the man who carried his equipment was very scared and wouldn’t do it, so Sha’ul took his sword and fell on it.

(Occurrence 0) these uncircumcised
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer_of armor_of,his draw sword_of,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor_of,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
The nominal adjective “uncircumcised” can be translated as an adjective. Not being circumcised is a metonym for being foreigners. Alternate translation: “these men who have not been circumcised” or “these non-Israelite men” (See also: figs-metonymy)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
(Occurrence 0) would not
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer_of armor_of,his draw sword_of,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor_of,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
The ellipsis can be filled in. Alternate translation: “would not do what Saul had told him to do”
(Occurrence 0) took his own sword and fell on it
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer_of armor_of,his draw sword_of,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor_of,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
Alternate translation: “killed himself with his own sword”
31:4 David had once held the position of armor bearer (16:21).
• kill me: This is one of many parallels between the death of Abimelech in the time of the judges (Judg 9) and Saul, Israel’s first national king (cp. Judg 9:54).
OET (OET-LV) And_ Shāʼūl _he/it_said armor_of_his to_bearer_of draw sword_of_your and_thrust_through_me in/on/at/with_it lest they_should_come the_uncircumcised the_these and_thrust_through_me and_make_sport in/on/at/with_me and_not he_was_willing armor_of_his the_bearer_of if/because he_was_afraid exceedingly and_ Shāʼūl _he/it_took DOM the_drought//sword/knife and_fell on_it.
OET (OET-RV) He said to the man carrying his equipment, “Draw out your sword and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised Philistines come and pierce me through then torture me as I’m dying.” But the man who carried his equipment was very scared and wouldn’t do it, so Sha’ul took his sword and fell on it.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
