Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

2 Samuel 1
⁵ And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
⁶ And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
⁷ And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
⁸ And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
⁹ He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
¹⁰ So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
¹¹ Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
¹² And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
¹³ And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
¹⁴ And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
¹⁵ And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
