2 Samuel 1:5-10

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

6The young man answered, “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa. Saul was there leaning on his spear, and the chariots and horsemen were catching up with him.

7When he looked back and saw me, he called to me, and I said, ‘Yes?’ ”

8“He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ “I said to him, ‘I’m an Amalekite.’

9“He said to me, ‘Please stand over me and kill me. I’m alive, but I’m suffering.’

10“So I stood over him and killed him, since I knew he couldn’t survive after he had been wounded. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm and brought them here to you, sir.”
