He answered, "I'm the son of a [resident] foreigner, an ‘Amaleki." 14 David asked him, "How is it that you weren't afraid to raise your hand to destroy Adonai 's anointed?" 15 David called one of his young men and said, "Go over to him, and kill him." The man struck him down, and he died. 16 David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head. Your own mouth convicted you when you said, ‘I killed Adonai 's anointed.'"
