No. Paul, who's Hebrew name was 'Saul'(Ephesians 1:1),did not die 'in battle'.

There are two Sauls mentioned in The Bible.

1. KING Saul (predecessor to King David), who DID die in battle, falling on his own sword (1 Samuel 31:1-7).

2. Saul (the Benjaminite pharisee from Tarsus) who BECAME the Apostle PAUL after

his conversion to Christianity (Acts 9:1,4,17/Acts11:25/Acts 21:39; Philippians 3:5). Paul did not die in 'battle' (typically speaking), but he DID die in a spiritual war of sorts. He was imprisoned in Rome for his preaching activity, and died, most likely, at the hands of Emperor Neru, who especially hated Christians. Paul, knowing his life would most likely end at that time, wrote the 2nd letter to his dear friend, Timothy, aimed at building up the Christian congregation, and encouraging Timothy to continue steadfast(2 Timothy 4:6-8).
