2 Samuel 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:13

And David said unto the young man that told him, whence [art]
thou?
&c.] From what place, or of what people and nation art thou? though Abarbinel thinks it neither respects place nor people, but that David thought he was another man's servant; so that the sense of the question is, to what man did he belong?

and he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite;
he was not any man's servant, but the son of a proselyte, of one that was by birth and nation an Amalekite, but proselyted to the Jewish religion; he might know of what nation he originally was, by the account he had given of what passed between him and Saul, ( 2 Samuel 1:8 ) ; though the mind of David might so disturbed as not to advert to it; or if he did, he might be willing to have it repeated for confirmation's sake.

2 Samuel 1:13 In-Context

11 Então pegou Davi nas suas vestes e as rasgou; e assim fizeram também todos os homens que estavam com ele;

12 e prantearam, e choraram, e jejuaram até a tarde por Saul, e por Jônatas, seu filho, e pelo povo do Senhor, e pela casa de Israel, porque tinham caída � espada.

13 Perguntou então Davi ao mancebo que lhe trouxera a nova: Donde és tu? Respondeu ele: Sou filho de um peregrino amalequita.

14 Davi ainda lhe perguntou: Como não temeste estender a mão para matares o ungido do Senhor?

15 Então Davi, chamando um dos mancebos, disse-lhe: chega-te, e lança-te sobre ele. E o mancebo o feriu, de sorte que morreu.
