2 Samuel 1:12-16

Contemporary English Version

¹² They cried all day long and would not eat anything. Everyone was sad because Saul, his son Jonathan, and many of the Lord's people had been killed in the battle.

¹³ David asked the young man, “Where is your home?”

The man replied, “My father is an Amalekite, but we live in Israel.”

^14-16 David said to him, “Why weren't you afraid to kill the Lord's chosen king? And you even told what you did. It's your own fault that you're going to die!”

Then David told one of his soldiers, “Come here and kill this man!”
