2 Samuel 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ And he said to me, “Who are you?” I answered him, “I am an Amalekite.” ⁹ He said to me, “Come, stand over me and kill me; for convulsions have seized me, and yet my life still lingers.” ¹⁰ So I stood over him, and killed him, for I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the armlet that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.’
