    1After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag for two days.

    2On the third day, a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. When he arrived before David, he fell to the ground and showed respect.

    3David asked him, 'Where have you come from?' He replied, 'I escaped from the camp of Israel.'

    4David said to him, 'What happened? Tell me.' He answered, 'The people fled from the battle, and many fell and died. Saul and Jonathan, his son, are also dead.'

    5David asked the young man who brought him the report, 'How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?'

    6The young man who was reporting the news said, 'I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul leaning on his spear, while the chariots and horsemen were closing in on him.'

    7When he turned and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, 'Here I am.'

    8He asked me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'

    9He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me, for I am in agony and my life still lingers in me.'

    10So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he could not survive after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.
