Shmuel Bais 1:3-9 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. And Dovid said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the machaneh Yisroel am I escaped.

4. And Dovid said unto him, How went the matter? Tell me now. And he answered, That the people are fled from the milchamah, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Sha'ul and Yonatan bno are dead also.

5. And Dovid said unto the na'ar that told him, How knowest thou that Sha'ul and Yonatan bno are dead?

6. And the na'ar that told him said, As I happened to be upon Mt Gilboa, hinei, Sha'ul leaned upon his khanit; and, hinei, the chariots and ba'alei haparashim followed hard after him.

7. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Hineini.

8. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amaleki.

9. He said unto me again, Stand, now, over me, and slay me; for shavatz (death through agony) is come upon me, because my nefesh is yet still in me.
