2 Samuel 1:8-10

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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.’
