In context

6“I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.

7When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

8‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

9Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’

10So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
