8 And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9 He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for1 anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.’
10 So I stood over him and akilled him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and atore them, and so did all the men who were with him.
12 And they amourned and wept and bfasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the cpeople of the Lord and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
