5 And Dawiḏ said to the young man who informed him, “How do you know that Sha’ul and Yehonathan his son are dead?”
6 And the young man who informed him said, “By chance I was on Mount Gilboa and saw Sha’ul leaning on his spear. And see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 “And when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me, and I answered, ‘Here I am.’
8 “And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalĕqite.’
9 “And he said to me, ‘Please stand over me and put me to death, for agony has seized me, but my life is still in me.’
10 “So I stood beside him and put him to death, for I knew he would not live after he had fallen. And I took the diadem that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my master.”
11 And Dawiḏ took hold of his own garments and tore them, and also all the men who were with him.
