2 Samuel 1:5-10 ▼

5 And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [are] dead?”

6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;

7 and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].

8 And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.

9 And he says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still in me.

10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
