2 Sam. 1:2‑16• 2And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
 3And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
 4And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
 5And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
 6And 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.
 7And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
 8And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.
 9He 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.
 10So 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.
 11Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him did likewise.
