2 Samuel 1:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Saul then said to me: ‘Who are you?’ And I told him: ‘I am an Amalekite.’ ⁹ Then he gave me this order: ‘Come here, stand over me, and kill me. The throes of death have overcome me, yet I am still alive.’

¹⁰ “Therefore, I stood over him and slew him, for I knew that he could not possibly survive because of the wounds he had suffered. Then I removed the crown that was on his head and the armlet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
