2 Samuel 1:1-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
1
Now it came about after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David stayed two days in Ziklag.
2
And on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. And it happened when he came to David, he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
3
Then David said to him, 'From where do you come?' And he said to him, 'I have escaped from the camp of Israel.'
4
David said to him, 'How did things go? Please tell me.' And he said, 'The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.'
5
Then David said to the young man who told him, 'How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?'
6
The young man who told him said, 'By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was leaning on his spear. And behold, the chariots and the horsemen had overtaken him.
7
When he looked behind himself, he saw me, and called to me. And I said, ‘Here I am.’
8
Then he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ And I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9
And he said to me, ‘Please stand next to me and finish me off, for agony has seized me because my life still lingers in me.’
10
So I stood next to him and finished him off, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown which
was
on his head and the band which
was
on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.'
11
Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and
so
also
did
all the men who
were
with him.
King James Version
Chapter 1
1
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4
And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5
And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6
And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
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
He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10
So I stood upon 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:

1
After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and stayed at Ziklag two days.
2
On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head came from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and paid homage.
3
David asked him, "Where have you come from?" He replied to him, "I’ve escaped from the Israelite camp."
4
"What was the outcome? Tell me," David asked him. "The troops fled from the battle," he answered. "Many of the troops have fallen and are dead. Also, Saul and his son Jonathan are dead."
5
David asked the young man who had brought him the report, "How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"
6
"I happened to be on Mount Gilboa," he replied, "and there was Saul, leaning on his spear. At that very moment the chariots and the cavalry were closing in on him.
7
When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, so I answered: I’m at your service.
8
He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him: I’m an Amalekite.
9
Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for I’m mortally wounded, but my life still lingers.’
10
So I stood over him and killed him because I knew that after he had fallen he couldn’t survive. I took the crown that was on his head and the armband that was on his arm, and I’ve brought them here to my lord."
11
Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and all the men with him did the same.

Chapter 1
1
After the death of Saul, David returned from his victory over the Amalekites and spent two days in Ziklag.
2
On the third day a man arrived from Saul’s army camp. He had torn his clothes and put dirt on his head to show that he was in mourning. He fell to the ground before David in deep respect.
3
Where have you come from?' David asked. 'I escaped from the Israelite camp,' the man replied.
4
What happened?' David demanded. 'Tell me how the battle went.' The man replied, 'Our entire army fled from the battle. Many of the men are dead, and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.'
5
How do you know Saul and Jonathan are dead?' David demanded of the young man.
6
The man answered, 'I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear with the enemy chariots and charioteers closing in on him.
7
When he turned and saw me, he cried out for me to come to him. ‘How can I help?’ I asked him.
8
He responded, ‘Who are you?’ '‘I am an Amalekite,’ I told him.
9
Then he begged me, ‘Come over here and put me out of my misery, for I am in terrible pain and want to die.’
10
So I killed him,' the Amalekite told David, 'for I knew he couldn’t live. Then I took his crown and his armband, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.'
11
David and his men tore their clothes in sorrow when they heard the news.

Chapter 1
1
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
2
on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
3
And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” So he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
4
Then David said to him, “How did the matter go? Please tell me.” And he answered, “The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5
So David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6
Then the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance
to be
on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7
Now 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?’ So I answered him, ‘I
am
an Amalekite.’
9
He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still
remains
in me.’
10
So I stood over him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that
was
on his head and the bracelet that
was
on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11
Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and
so did
all the men who
were
with him.
