2 Samuel 1:6-10

6The man answered, “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear with the enemy chariots and charioteers closing in on him.

7When he turned and saw me, he cried out for me to come to him. ‘How can I help?’ I asked him.

8“He responded, ‘Who are you?’ “‘I am an Amalekite,’ I told him.

9“Then he begged me, ‘Come over here and put me out of my misery, for I am in terrible pain and want to die.’

10“So I killed him,” the Amalekite told David, “for I knew he couldn’t live. Then I took his crown and his armband, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
