2 Samuel 1:5-10

5Then DavidH1732H413 askedH559 the young manH5288 who had brought him the reportH5046, “HowH349 do you knowH3045 thatH3588 SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 are deadH4191?”

6“I happenedH7122H7136 to be on MountH2022 GilboaH1533,” he repliedH559, “and thereH2009 was SaulH7586, leaningH8172 onH5921 his spearH2595, withH2009 the chariotsH7393H1167 and the cavalryH6571 closing in on himH1692. 7When he turned aroundH6437H310 and saw meH7200, he called outH7121 to meH413, and I answeredH559, ‘Here I amH2005!’

8‘WhoH4310 are youH859?’ he askedH559.

So I toldH559 himH413, ‘I amH595 an AmalekiteH6003.’

9Then he begged meH559H413, ‘StandH5975H4994 over meH5921 and kill meH4191, forH3588 agonyH7661 has seized meH270, butH3588 my lifeH5315 stillH3605 lingersH5750.’

10So I stoodH5975 over himH5921 and killed himH4191, becauseH3588 I knewH3045 thatH3588 afterH310 he had fallenH5307 he could notH3808 surviveH2421. And I tookH3947 the crownH5145 thatH834 was onH5921 his headH7218 and the bandH685 thatH834 was onH5921 his armH2220, and I have brought themH935 hereH2008 toH413 my lordH113.”
