2 Samuele 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 Samuele 1:13 In-Context

11 Allora Davide prese i suoi vestimenti, e li stracciò. Il simigliante fecero ancora tutti gli uomini ch’erano con lui;
12 e fecero cordoglio, e piansero, e digiunarono infino alla sera, per cagion di Saulle, e di Gionatan, suo figliuolo, e del popolo del Signore, e della casa d’Israele; perciocchè erano caduti per la spada.
13 Poi Davide disse al giovane che gli avea portate le novelle: Onde sei? Ed egli gli disse: Io son figliuolo d’un uomo forestiere Amalechita.
14 E Davide gli disse: Come non hai temuto di metter la mano ad ammazzar l’Unto del Signore? E Davide chiamò uno de’ fanti, e gli disse:
15 Vien qua, avventati sopra lui. E colui lo percosse, ed egli morì.
