11Then 1DavidH1732 tookH2388 holdH2388 of his clothesH899 and toreH7167 them, and so alsoH1571 did allH3605 the menH376 whoH834 were with him. 12And they mournedH5594 and weptH1058 and 2fastedH6684 untilH5704 eveningH6153 for SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083, and for the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, becauseH3588 they had fallenH5307 by the swordH2719. 13Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who informedH5046 him, “WhereH335 are you from?” And he 3answeredH559, “4I am the sonH1121 of a strangerH1616, an AmalekiteH6003.” 14And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “HowH349 is it you wereH3372 not afraidH3372 5to reachH7971 outH7971 with your handH3027 to destroyH7843 the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899?” 15Then DavidH1732 calledH7121 oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 and saidH559, “ComeH5066 forwardH5066, 6putH6293 him toH6293 deathH6293.” 7So he struckH5221 him and he diedH4191. 16And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “89Your bloodH1818 is on your headH7218, becauseH3588 10your own mouthH6310 has testifiedH6030 against you, sayingH559, ‘I have finishedH4191 offH4191 the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.’”
