2 Samuel 1:11-16

11Then DavidH1732 took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899 and tore themH7167, and allH3605 the menH582 whoH834 were with himH854 did the sameH1571. 12They mournedH5594 and weptH1058 and fastedH6684 untilH5704 eveningH6153 forH5921 SaulH7586 andH5921 his sonH1121H5921 JonathanH3083, and for the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068H5921 and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, becauseH3588 they had fallenH5307 by the swordH2719.

13And DavidH1732 inquiredH559 ofH413 the young manH5288 who had brought him the reportH5046, “WhereH335H2088 are you fromH859?”

“I am the sonH1121H376 of a foreignerH1616,” he answeredH559. “I amH595 an AmalekiteH6003.”

14So DavidH1732 askedH559 himH413, “WhyH349 were you notH3808 afraidH3372 to liftH7971 your handH3027 to destroyH7843 the LORD’sH3068 anointedH4899?” 15Then DavidH1732 summonedH7121 oneH259 of the young menH5288 and saidH559, “GoH5066, executeH6293 him!” So the young man struck him downH5221, and he diedH4191. 16For DavidH1732 had saidH559 to the AmalekiteH413, “Your bloodH1818 be onH5921 your own headH7218 becauseH3588 your own mouthH6310 has testifiedH6030 against you, sayingH559, ‘IH595 killedH4191 the LORD’sH3068 anointedH4899.’”
