And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

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.

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, {and} fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

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.
