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.
10. So I stood over him, and slaughtered him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen; and I took the nezer (crown, diadem) that was upon his rosh, and the etzadah (bracelet, band) that was on his zero'a, and have brought them here unto adoni.
11. Then Dovid took hold on his clothes, and made the kri'ah on them; and likewise all the anashim that were with him;
12. And they mourned, and wept, and did a tzom until the erev, for Sha'ul, and for Yonatan bno, and for the Am Hashem, and for Bais Yisroel; because they were fallen by the cherev.
13. And Dovid said unto the na'ar that told him, From where art thou? And he answered, I am ben ish ger, an Amaleki.
14. And Dovid said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine yad to destroy Hashem's moshiach?
15. And Dovid called one of the ne'arim, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
16. And Dovid said unto him, Thy dahm be upon thy rosh; for thine own peh hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Hashem's moshiach.
17. And Dovid lamented with this kinah (lamentation) over Sha'ul and over Yonatan bno;
18. Also he bade them teach the Bnei Yehudah: The Keshet. Hinei, it is written in the Sefer HaYasher:
19. The glory of Yisroel is slain upon thy high places; how are the Gibborim fallen!
20. Tell it not in Gat, proclaim it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the banot Pelishtim rejoice, lest the banot ha'arelim triumph.
21. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no tal, neither let there be matar, upon you, nor fields of terumot; for there the mogen Gibborim is defiled, the mogen of Sha'ul, as though he had not been mashiach (anointed) with shemen.
22. From the dahm of the slain, from the chelev of the Gibborim, the keshet Yonatan turned not back, and the cherev Sha'ul returned not empty.
