2 Samuel 1:6-10

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.”
