2 Samuel 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:15

And David called one of the young men
His servants that attended on him:

and said, go near, [and] fall upon him;
by smiting him with his sword:

and he smote him, that he died;
his orders were instantly obeyed. Kings and generals of armies had great power in those times and countries to execute a man immediately, without any other judge or jury: what may serve, or David might think would serve, to justify him in doing this, is what follows.

2 Samuel 1:15 In-Context

13 Luego David le dijo al joven que trajo la noticia:
—¿De dónde eres?
—Soy un extranjero —contestó—, un amalecita que vive en su tierra.

14 —¿Y cómo no tuviste temor de matar al ungido del Señor
? —le preguntó David.

15 Entonces le ordenó a uno de sus hombres:
—¡Mátalo!
Enseguida el hombre le clavó su espada al amalecita y lo mató, y David dijo:

16 —Te condenaste a ti mismo al confesar que mataste al ungido del Señor
.
