第三天，忽然有一個人從掃羅的營回來，衣服撕裂，頭上蒙灰。這人一來到大衛面前，就俯伏在地上叩拜他。大衛問他：“你從哪裡來？”他對他說：“我是從以色列的營中逃出來的。”大衛又問他：“情況怎麼樣？請你告訴我！”他回答：“眾人都逃離戰場，他們中間不但有許多人倒地陣亡，連掃羅和他的兒子約拿單也死了。”於是，大衛問那向他報信的年輕人：“你怎麼知道掃羅和他的兒子死了呢？”那個向大衛報信的年輕人回答：“我剛巧在基利波山，看見掃羅靠在自己的矛槍上，又見有戰車和馬兵緊緊地追趕他。他回頭看到我，就呼喚我。我說：‘我在這裡。’他問我：‘你是誰？’我回答他：‘我是亞瑪力人。’於是他對我說：‘請你站到我身邊來，把我殺死，因為痛苦抓住我，我卻還死不了。’我就站到他身邊去，把他殺了，因為我知道他一倒下，就不能再活了。我摘下他頭上的王冠，取下他臂上的手鐲，帶到這裡來奉給我主。”大衛就抓住自己的衣服，把它們全都撕裂。所有與他在一起的人也都是這樣。他們為了掃羅、他的兒子約拿單、耶和華的子民和以色列家的緣故悲哀、哭泣、禁食直到晚上，因為他們已經倒斃在刀下。大衛問那向他報信的年輕人：“你是哪裡的人？”他回答：“我是個寄居這地的亞瑪力人的兒子。”大衛對他說：“你伸手毀滅耶和華的受膏者，怎麼還不懼怕呢？”於是大衛叫了一個年輕人來，說：“你上前去，砍倒他。”那年輕人擊殺他，他就死了。大衛對他說：“你流人血的罪要歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作證指控自己說：‘我殺了耶和華的受膏者。’”
