David Executes the Amalekite Messenger

2 Samuel 1:11-16

Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.

And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.

And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec.

David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord's anointed?

And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.

And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord's anointed.
