The young man who told David says that he stood beside Saul on Mount Gilboa and killed him
고하는 소년이 길보아산에서 사울 곁에 서서 죽였다고 말함
2 Samuel 1:5–10: David says to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?” The young man who told him says, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him. When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’ He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’ So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.” The Korean Revised Version names Saul at 1:7, where WEB has “he”.
