2 Samuel 1:8-16

2 Samuel 1:8-16

[8] And he said  him, I am an Amalekite.  [9] He said  unto me again, Stand,  I pray thee, upon me, and slay  me: for anguish  is come  upon me, because my life  is yet whole in me. [10] So I stood  upon him, and slew  him, because I was sure  that he could not live  after  that he was fallen:  and I took  the crown  that was upon his head,  and the bracelet  that was on his arm,  and have brought  them hither unto my lord.  [11] Then David  took hold  on his clothes,  and rent  that were with him: [12] And they mourned,  and wept,  and fasted  until even,  for Saul,  and for Jonathan  his son,  and for the people  and for the house  of Israel;  because they were fallen  by the sword.  [13] And David  said  unto the young man  that told  him, Whence art thou? And he answered,  I am the son  of a stranger,  an Amalekite.  [14] And David  said  unto him, How wast thou not afraid  to stretch forth  thine hand  to destroy  the LORD'S  anointed?  [15] And David  called  one  of the young men,  and said,  Go near,  and fall  upon him. And he smote  him that he died.  [16] And David  said  unto him, Thy blood  be upon thy head;  for thy mouth  hath testified  against thee, saying,  I have slain  the LORD'S  anointed.
