2 Samuel 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:6

that that might pierce him through and die; but this seems not true, for he fell upon his sword for that purpose, ( 1 Samuel 31:4 ) ;

and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him;
the charioteers and cavalry, of which part of the Philistine army consisted; though this also does not agree with the account in the above place; for according to that they were the archers that pressed him hard, and hit him.

6 O jovem respondeu: “Cheguei por acaso ao monte Gilboa, e lá estava Saul, apoiado em sua lança. Os carros de guerra e os oficiais da cavalaria estavam a ponto de alcançá-lo.

7 Quando ele se virou e me viu, chamou-me gritando, e eu disse: Aqui estou.

8 “Ele me perguntou: ‘Quem é você?’“Sou amalequita, respondi.
