David Executes the Amalekite Messenger

2 Samuel 1:11-16

And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who are with him,

and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.

And David saith unto the youth who is declaring it to him, `Whence art thou?' and he saith, `Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I am .'

And David saith unto him, `How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?'

And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, `Draw nigh--fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth;

and David saith unto him, `Thy blood is on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I--I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.'
