The crown. The Amalekite was evidently one of the first to come upon the body of Saul, inasmuch as he was able to recover the crown and bracelet. He presented these articles as positive proof that Saul was dead. The offering of these emblems of royalty to David shows that the young man recognized David as the future king. For his pains the young man expected a rich reward.
