11 Then David grabbed his own clothes and tore them in grief. All the men with him did the same.
12 They mourned, cried, and fasted until evening because Saul, his son Jonathan, the Lord’s army, and the nation of Israel had been defeated in battle.
13 David asked the young man who had brought him the news, “Where are you from?”And the young man answered, “I’m an Amalekite, the son of a foreign resident.”
14 David asked, “Why weren’t you afraid to take it upon yourself to destroy the Lord’s anointed king?”
15 Then David called one of ⌊his⌋ young men and told him, “Come here and attack him.” David’s young man executed him
16 while David said, “You are responsible for spilling your own blood. You testified against yourself when you said, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed king.’ ”
17 David wrote this song of mourning for Saul and his son Jonathan.
