2 Samuel

2 Samuel 1:15–16

¹⁵Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died. ¹⁶For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”
