2 Samuel 1:15-18

Living Bible

¹⁵ Then he said to one of his young men, “Kill him!” So he ran him through with his sword and he died.

¹⁶ “You die self-condemned,” David said, “for you yourself confessed that you killed God’s appointed king.”

^17-18 Then David composed a dirge for Saul and Jonathan and afterward commanded that it be sung throughout Israel. It is quoted here from the book Heroic Ballads.
