His clothes were torn, and he had dirt on his head. When he came to David, he immediately bowed down with his face touching the ground. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>"Where did you come from?" David asked him. "I escaped from the camp of Israel," he answered. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>"What happened?" David asked him. "Please tell me." The man answered, "The army fled from the battle, and many of the soldiers died. Saul and his son Jonathan are dead too." <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" David asked the young man who had brought him the news. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>The young man answered, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa. Saul was there leaning on his spear, and the chariots and horsemen were catching up with him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When he looked back and saw me, he called to me, and I said, 'Yes?'" <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>"He asked me, 'Who are you?' "I said to him, 'I'm an Amalekite.' <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me.
