5. David said to the young man, How do you know Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6. The young man said, By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and I saw Saul leaning on his spear, and behold, the chariots and horsemen were close behind him.
7. When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, Here I am.
8. He asked me, Who are you? I answered, An Amalekite.
9. He said to me, Rise up against me and slay me; for terrible dizziness has come upon me, yet my life is still in me [and I will be taken alive].
10. So I stood up against him and slew him, because I was sure he could not live after he had fallen. So I took the crown on his head and the bracelet on his arm and have brought them here to my lord. [I Sam. 31:4.]
