In1 Samual 31:4 you can read the passage of where King Saul took his sword and fell on it. Then the next passage tells of where his armorbearer saw that King Saul was dead. Then in Samuel 1:9 Amalekite saw that his(King Saul) life was still in him. King Saul asked the Amalekite to kill him.

Then in chapter 2 verse 16 David had the Amalekite killed for killing the Lord's anointed.

I would think that King Saul attempted suicide and his armorbearer thought he was dead, yet he was not and when King Saul regained his conscience that the Amalekite just happend by that King Saul asked the Amalekite to kill him.

I dont think King Saul commited suicide, I think he was killed according to the words of David spoke saying to the Amalekite in verse 16 of chapter 1 in 2nd Samuel

Tradition has said that Paul was beheaded, likely at Tre Fontane Abbey (English: Three Fountains Abbey). By comparison, Peter was crucifiedupside-down. This account fits with the report from Acts that Paul was a Roman citizen and would have been accorded the more merciful execution Paul's death is commonly date d to c60-62 or c 62-65, or c 65-67, in any case during the reign of Nero.
