He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec. 14 David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord’s anointed? 15 And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died. 16 And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord’s anointed.
