2 Samuel 1:4-10

⁴“What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”

⁵Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

⁶“I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.

⁷When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

⁸‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

⁹Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’

¹⁰So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
