Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto me, who [art] thou?.... Being willing to know whether a friend or an enemy, which by his coming behind him he could not tell:
and I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite: which he might be; but it is not likely he should tell Saul he was, which would not recommend him to him; though indeed he was now in such circumstances, that the Amalekites had nothing to fear from him; and if he was slain by him, as Josephus f affirms he was, it seems to be a just retaliation on him for sparing any of that race, contrary to the will of God.
f Antiqu. l. 6. c. 14. sect. 7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 1:8. I am an Amalekite.] Dr. Delaney remarks that an Amalekite took that crown from off the head of Saul, which he had forfeited by his disobedience in the case of Amalek.
