12 They mourned and cried and fasted until evening for Saul, his son Jonathan, the Lord’s army, and the whole house of Israel, because they had died by the sword.
13 "Where are you from?" David asked the young man who brought him the news."I’m the son of an immigrant," he answered. "An Amalekite."
14 Then David said to him, "How is it that you weren’t afraid to raise your hand and destroy the Lord’s anointed?"
15 Then David called for one of the young servants. "Come here!" he said. "Strike him down!" So the servant struck the Amalekite down, and he died.
16 "Your blood is on your own head," David said to the Amalekite, "because your own mouth testified against you when you admitted, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed.’"
17 Then David sang this funeral song for Saul and his son Jonathan.
18 David ordered everyone in Judah to learn the Song of the Bow. (In fact, it is written in the scroll from Jashar.)
