2 Samuel 1:10
The Amalekite was one of those who came "to strip the slain" on "the morrow" after the battle I Samuel 31:8, and had the luck to find Saul and possess himself of his crown and bracelet. He probably started off immediately to seek David, and invented the above story, possibly having heard from some Israelite prisoner an account of what really did happen.
