7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called vnto mee: and I answered, Here am I. 8And hee said vnto mee, Who art thou? and I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 9He said vnto me againe, Stand, I pray thee, vpon me, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon mee, because my life is yet whole in me. 10So I stood vpon him, and slew him, because I was sure that hee could not liue after that hee was fallen: And I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and haue brought them hither vnto my lord. 11Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
