2 Samuel 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:8

And he said unto me, who [art] thou?
&c.] Being willing to know whether a friend or an enemy, which by his coming behind him he could not tell:

and I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite:
which he might be; but it is not likely he should tell Saul he was, which would not recommend him to him; though indeed he was now in such circumstances, that the Amalekites had nothing to fear from him; and if he was slain by him, as Josephus F6 affirms he was, it seems to be a just retaliation on him for sparing any of that race, contrary to the will of God.

2 Samuel 1:8 In-Context

6 Então disse o mancebo que lhe dava a notícia: Achava-me por acaso no monte Gilbea, e eis que Saul se encostava sobre a sua lança; os carros e os cavaleiros apertavam com ele.
7 Nisso, olhando ele para trás, viu-me e me chamou; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
8 Ao que ele me perguntou: Quem és tu? E eu lhe respondi: Sou amalequita.
9 Então ele me disse: Chega-te a mim, e mata-me, porque uma vertigem se apoderou de mim, e toda a minha vida está ainda em mim.
10 Cheguei-me, pois, a ele, e o matei, porque bem sabia eu que ele não viveria depois de ter caído; e tomei a coroa que ele tinha na cabeça, e o bracelete que trazia no braço, e os trouxe aqui a meu senhor.
