Contextual Overview
11 Then David tore his clothes to show he was very sad. All the men with him did the same thing. 12 They were very sad and cried. They did not eat until evening. They cried because Saul and his son Jonathan were dead. David and his men cried for the Lord 's people, and they cried for Israel. They cried because Saul, his son Jonathan, and many Israelites had been killed in battle. 13 Then David talked with the young soldier who had told him about Saul's death. David asked, "Where are you from?" The young soldier answered, "I am the son of a foreigner. I am an Amalekite." 14 David said to the young soldier, "Why were you not afraid to kill the Lord 's chosen king?" 15Then David told the Amalekite, "You are responsible for your own death. You said you killed the Lord 's chosen king, so your own words prove you are guilty." Then David called one of his young servants and told him to kill the Amalekite. So the young Israelite killed him.
