“David said unto him, How did the battle go? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead. And Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

6"I happened to be on Mount Gilboa," he replied, "and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.

10So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."
“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 I brought them here to my Lord”

“And David said unto the young man that told him, Where are you from? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger. I'm an Amalekite.”
14So David asked him, "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"
“So David said to him, how was it that you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?”
