2 Samuel 1:1-10

1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 1the deathH4194 of SaulH7586, when DavidH1732 had returnedH7725 from 2the slaughterH5221 of the AmalekitesH6002, that DavidH1732 stayedH3427 twoH8147 daysH3117 in ZiklagH6860. 2And on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, beholdH2009, 3a manH376 cameH935 from 4Saul’sH7586 campH4264 5with his clothesH899 tornH7167 and 6dustH127 on his headH7218. And it happenedH1961 when he cameH935 to DavidH1732, 7he fellH5307 to the groundH776 and prostratedH2331 himself. 3Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “From whereH335 do you comeH935?” And he saidH559 to him, “I have escapedH4422 from the campH4264 of IsraelH3478.” 4DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “8HowH4100 did thingsH1697 goH1961? PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me.” And he saidH559, “The peopleH5971 have fledH5127 from the battleH4421, and manyH7235 of the peopleH5971 alsoH1571 have fallenH5307 and are deadH4191; and SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 are alsoH1571 deadH4191.” 5Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who toldH5046 him, “HowH349 do you knowH3045 that SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 are deadH4191?” 6The youngH5288 manH5288 who toldH5046 him saidH559, “ByH7122 chanceH7122 I happenedH7136 toH7136 beH7136 on 9MountH2022 GilboaH1533, and beholdH2009, 10SaulH7586 was leaningH8172 on his spearH2595. And beholdH2009, the chariotsH7393 and the horsemenH6571 had overtakenH1692 him. 7When he lookedH6437 behindH310 himself, he sawH7200 me, and calledH7121 to me. And I saidH559, ‘HereH2009 I am.’ 8Then he saidH559 to me, ‘WhoH4310 are you?’ And I 11answeredH559 him, ‘12I am an AmalekiteH6003.’ 9And he saidH559 to me, ‘PleaseH4994 standH5975 nextH5921 to me and finishH4191 me offH4191, for 13agonyH7661 has seizedH270 me becauseH3588 my 14lifeH5315 stillH5750 lingers in me.’ 10So I stoodH5975 nextH5921 to him 15and finishedH4191 him offH4191, becauseH3588 I knewH3045 that he could not liveH2421 afterH310 he had fallenH5307. And 16I tookH3947 the crownH5145 whichH834 was on his headH7218 and the bandH685 whichH834 was on his armH2220, and I have broughtH935 them hereH2008 to my lordH113.”
