2 Samuel 1:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him: I’m an Amalekite.(A) 9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for I’m mortally wounded,[a] but my life still lingers.’(B) 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.”
