Contextual Overview
1 And so it was, after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the smiting of the Amalekites, and David had abode in Ziklag two days, 2 yea so it was, on the third day, that lo! a man came out of the camp, from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head, - and so it was, when he came in unto David, that he fell to the earth, and did homage. 3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel, am I escaped. 4 And David said unto him - How turned out the matter? tell me, I pray thee. And he said - The people have fled from the battle, yea moreover, many, of the people have fallen, and died, Yea moreover, Saul, and Jonathan his son, are dead. 5 Then said David unto the young man who was telling him, - How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? 6 And the young man who was telling him said, It, so happened, that I was on Mount Gilboa, when lo! Saul, leaning upon his spear, and lo! the chariots and horsemen, hotly pursued him; 7 so he turned behind him, and saw me, - and cried out unto me, and I said, Behold me! 8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I said unto him, An Amalekite, am I. 9 And he said unto me, I pray thee, take thy stand by me, and put me to death, for the cramp hath seized me, - even for as long as my life shall be in me. 10 So I took my stand by him, and put him to death, for I perceived that he could not survive his fall, - so I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them in unto my lord, here.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when he looked behind him,.... To see how near the enemy was, and who were pursuing him:
he saw me, and called unto me; by which it should rather seem that he belonged to the Philistines than to the Israelites, and as his being an Amalekite shows; for such an one would hardly be admitted among the latter, though it is most likely he was with neither, but happened to come that way just at that time:
and I answered, here [am] I; ready to hear what thou hast to say, and do thy pleasure.
