5Then David said to the young man who told him, 'How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?' 6The 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. 7When he looked behind himself, he saw me, and called to me. And I said, ‘Here I am.’ 8Then he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ And I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 9And 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.’King James Version

5And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? 6And 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. 7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. 8And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 9He 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.Christian Standard Bible
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.
7When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, so I answered: I’m at your service.
8He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him: I’m an Amalekite.
9Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for I’m mortally wounded, but my life still lingers.’
