2 Samuel 1:5-10

5So David said to the young man who informed him, “How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

6And the young man who told him explained, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear, and the chariots and horsemen [of the Philistines] were close behind him.

7When he turned to look behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’

8He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

9He said to me, ‘Stand up facing me and kill me, for [terrible] agony has come over me, yet I still live [and I will be taken alive].’

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