Who killed Saul, Saul or the Amalekite? 1 Samuel 31:4 and 2 Samuel 1:8-101. Saul did (1 Samuel 31:4) - "Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it." 2. The Amalekite did (2 Samuel 1:8-10) - "And he said to me, `Who are you?' And I answered him, `I am an Amalekite.' 9"Then he said to me, `Please stand beside me and kill me; for agony has seized me because my life still lingers in me.' 10"So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."
