5 And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.
10 So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him did likewise.
