2 Samuel 1:6-21

6And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.1 8And he said to me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 9He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.2 10So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.

11Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword. 13And David said to the young man that told him, From where art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 14And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the LORD’S anointed? 15And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. 16And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed.

17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 18(Also he told them to teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)3 19Thy glory, O Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! 20Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
