2 Samuel 1:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Then David called for one of his men. He said, “Go! Strike him down!” So he struck the man down, and the man died. ¹⁶ That’s because David had said to him, “Anything that happens to you will be your own fault. What your own mouth has spoken is a witness against you. You said, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed king.’ ”
