2 Samuel 1

4 “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”

5 Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that 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, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.

7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
