2 Samuel 1:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ David said to him, ‘The Lord had chosen Saul to be Israel's king. You should have been very afraid to kill him!’

¹⁵ Then David said to one of his own young men, ‘Go and knock him down!’ So the man knocked him down so that he died. ¹⁶ David had said to the Amalekite, ‘You deserve to die because of what you have said. Your own words show that you did a bad thing. You yourself said, “I have killed the Lord's chosen king.” ’
