2 Samuel 1:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ “He said to me, ‘Please stand over me and kill me. I’m alive, but I’m suffering.’

¹⁰ “So I stood over him and killed him, since I knew he couldn’t survive after he had been wounded. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm and brought them here to you, sir.”

¹¹ Then David grabbed his own clothes and tore them in grief. All the men with him did the same.
