Contextual Overview

¹ Now Saul was dead. After David had defeated the Amalekites, he returned to Ziklag and stayed there two days. ² On the third day a young man from Saul's camp came to Ziklag. To show his sadness, his clothes were torn and he had dirt on his head. He came and bowed facedown on the ground before David. ³ David asked him, "Where did you come from?" The man answered, "I escaped from the Israelite camp." ⁴ David asked him, "What happened? Please tell me!" The man answered, "The people have run away from the battle, and many of them have fallen and are dead. Saul and his son Jonathan are dead also." ⁵ David asked him, "How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" ⁶ The young man answered, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa. There I saw Saul leaning on his spear. The Philistine chariots and the men riding in them were coming closer to Saul. ⁷ When he looked back and saw me, he called to me. I answered him, ‘Here I am!' ⁸ "Then Saul asked me, ‘Who are you?' "I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.' ⁹ "Then Saul said to me, ‘Please come here and kill me. I am badly hurt and am almost dead already.' ¹⁰ "So I went over and killed him. He had been hurt so badly I knew he couldn't live. Then I took the crown from his head and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my master."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto me again, stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me,.... Which it can hardly be thought Saul would say; since he might as well have died by the hands of the uncircumcised Philistines, which he endeavoured to avoid, as by the hands of an Amalekite:

for anguish is come upon me; or trembling, as the Targum, not through fear of death, but through fear of falling into the hands of the Philistines, and of being ill used by them. Some render the words, "my embroidered coat", or "breastplate", or "coat of mail", holds me g, or hinders me from being pierced through with the sword or spear; so Ben Gersom h:

because my life [is] yet whole in me: for though he had been wounded by the archers, yet he did not apprehend he had received any mortal wound, but his life was whole in him; and therefore feared he should fall into their hands alive, and be ill treated by them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Anguish - The Hebrew word used here occurs nowhere else, and is of doubtful meaning (compare the margin). The rabbis interpret it as a cramp or giddiness.
