2 Samuel 1:6-9

English Standard Version

⁶ And the young man who told him said, ^(A)“By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear, and behold, the chariots and the horsemen were close upon him. ⁷ And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’ ⁸ And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ ⁹ And he said to me, ^(B)‘Stand beside me and kill me, for anguish has seized me, and yet my life still lingers.’
