And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
David called one of his young men to come forward and ordered him to go near and fall upon the Amalekite visitor. The young man obeyed and struck him down so that he died. The man had claimed to have killed Saul, and his own confession testified against him. David regarded the killing of Saul, the Lord's anointed and consecrated king of Israel, as a capital crime deserving death.
