This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
1 After David returned from slaughtering the Amalekites, he stayed in Tsiklag for two days. (King Sha’ul was dead by this time.) 2 Then on the third day, wow, a man came from Sha’ul’s camp. He had torn clothes and dirt on his head, and when he got to David he fell onto his knees and bowed low. 3 “Where have you come from?” David asked him.
“I was in Yisrael’s camp, but managed to escape.” he replied. 4 “Why? What happened?” David demanded. “Tell me, please,”
“Our people fled from the battle,” the man said. “Many fell and died. Even Sha’ul and his son Yonatan died.”
5 “How do you know that Sha’ul and Yonatan died?” David asked the young man who’d brought the news.
6 “I happened to be on Mt. Gilboa,” the young man replied, “and listen, Sha’ul was leaning on his spear. Then wow, the chariots and the masters of the chariot horses overtook him,[ref] 7 and he turned around and saw me. He called me and I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. ‘I’m an Amalekite,’ I told him. 9 Then he said to me, ‘Please, come over here and kill me, because although I’m still alive, the pain is unbearable.’ 10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that with those wounds, he wouldn’t live. Then I took the crown off his head and the bracelet on his arm, and I brought them here to you, my master.”
11 Then David pulled at his clothes with his hands and tore them, and all the men with him did the same, 12 and they mourned and wept and fasted until the evening for Sha’ul and for his son Yonatan, and for Yahweh’s people, because many Israelis had been killed.
13 Then David asked the young man who’d brought the news, “Where are you from?”
“I’m a foreigner’s son,” he replied, “an Amalekite.” 14 “How come you weren’t afraid to kill Yahweh’s anointed king with your own hands?” David asked him. 15 Then David called to one of his young men, “Come over here and execute him.” So he struck him, and he died. 16 “Your blood’s on your own head,” David told the Amalekite, “because you admitted in your own words that you, yourself killed Yahweh’s anointed one.”
1Sam 31:1-6:
31 Meanwhile, the Philistines were battling against Yisrael, and the Israelis fled from the Philistines but many were killed on Mt. Gilboa. 2 The Philistines stayed hard on the tail of Sha’ul and his sons, and they killed his sons Yonatan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua. 3 Then the battle was fierce around Sha’ul, then the Philistine archers sighted him and he writhed in terrible pain from the arrows. 4 He said to the man carrying his equipment, “Draw out your sword and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised Philistines come and pierce me through then torture me as I’m dying.” But the man who carried his equipment was very scared and wouldn’t do it, so Sha’ul took his sword and fell on it. 5 When the man carrying his equipment saw that the king was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. 6 So Sha’ul, three of his sons, and the man carrying his equipment all died on that same day, along with all his warriors.
1Ch 10:1-6:
10 Now the Philistines fought against Yisrael and the Israeli men fled away from the Philistines, and many were killed on Mt. Gilboa. 2 Then the Philistines pursued after Shaul and after his sons, and they killed his sons Yonatan, Avinadav, and Malki-Shua. 3 The battle against Shaul was very fierce, but then the archers spotted him and wounded him. 4 Then Shaul said to his equipment carrier, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, so those uncircumcised Philistines can’t come here and torture me.” But his equipment carrier was very scared and wasn’t willing to do it, so Shaul took his sword and fell onto it. 5 Then his equipment carrier, seeing that King Shaul had died, he himself fell on his sword and died. 6 So Shaul and his three sons died, thus ending his family’s rule.
