7. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9. And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me, for anguish hath taken hold of me; because my life is yet whole in me.
10. So I stood beside 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.
11. Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12. and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13. And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14. And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thine hand to destroy the Lord'S anointed?
15. And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord'S anointed.
17. And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18. And he bade them teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar.
19. Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! how are the mighty fallen!
20. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
