3David said to him, From whence come you? He said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4David said to him, How went the matter? Please tell me. He answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5David said to the young man who told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6The young man who told him said, As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and, behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.
7When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, Here am I.
8He said to me, Who are you? I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9He said to me, Stand, I pray you, beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.
