1 | 1 | Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; |
1 | 2 | It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. |
1 | 3 | And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. |
1 | 4 | And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. |
1 | 5 | And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? |
1 | 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. |
1 | 7 | And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. |
1 | 8 | And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. |
1 | 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. |
1 | 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. |
