13<\/strong>. the son of a stranger, an Amalekite<\/em> ] Or, the son of an Amalekite stranger<\/em>, i.e. an Amalekite who had migrated into the land of Israel. The term is one regularly used in the O.T. of foreigners residing in a country not their own.<\/p>\n Whether David believed the Amalekites story, or not, his anger was equally excited, and the fact that the young man was an Amalekite, was not calculated to calm or check it. That Davids temper was hasty, we know from 1Sa 25:13<\/span>, 1Sa 25:32-34<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Whence art thou?<\/B> David heard and knew before what he was, but he asked it again judicially, in order to his trial and punishment. <\/P> <\/p>\n 13-15. David said unto the young man. . . Whence art thou?<\/B>The man had at the outset stated who hewas. But the question was now formally and judicially put. Thepunishment inflicted on the Amalekite may seem too severe, but therespect paid to kings in the West must not be regarded as thestandard for that which the East may think due to royal station.David’s reverence for Saul, as the Lord’s anointed, was in his mind aprinciple on which he had faithfully acted on several occasions ofgreat temptation. In present circumstances it was especiallyimportant that his principle should be publicly known; and to freehimself from the imputation of being in any way accessory to theexecrable crime of regicide was the part of a righteous judge, noless than of a good politician. <\/P> 2Sa1:17-27<\/span>. DAVID LAMENTSSAUL AND JONATHAN.<\/P><\/p>\n And David said unto the young man that told him, whence [art] thou<\/strong>?…. 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?<\/p>\n and he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite<\/strong>; 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, 2Sa 1:8<\/span>; 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.<\/p>\n Davids punishment of the Amalekite. 2Sa. 1:13-16<\/span><\/p>\n 13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.<\/p>\n 14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lords anointed? 16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lords anointed.<\/p>\n 9.<\/p>\n Why did David ask the Amalekite who he was? 2Sa. 1:13<\/span><\/p>\n The man had already told him that he was an Amalekite. He had said that Saul asked him who he was and he had replied that he was an Amalekite. David evidently interrogated the young man thoroughly after he and his men had recovered from their shock and grief. As he made inquiry, he asked the man who he was. The young man told him that he was the son of a stranger. This was another way of his saying that he was not a member of the commonwealth of Israel. He identified himself as an Amalekite.<\/p>\n 10.<\/p>\n Why did David slay the bearer of the news? 2Sa. 1:15<\/span><\/p>\n The Amalekite had come to tell the news of the death of Saul with the expectation of a reward from the hand of David. David slew the newsbearer. David felt that if he did not slay the Amalekite that the blood of Saul would be required of his hands. Such an occurrence as this shows that David still had a very, very deep regard for Saul.<\/p>\n (13) And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. (14) And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’S anointed? (15) And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. (16) And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Think Reader! (for I pass over all the lesser considerations connected with the event of this Amalekite’s death) think if David considered this act so atrocious, because it was leveled against the Lord’s anointed, what unparalleled impiety must that have been in the crucifiers of the Lord Jesus, the only begotten and anointed Son of God! And yet, dearest Jesus! such was thy matchless love and pity, that on some of these very men, whose hands were embrued in thy blood, thou didst send down the gift of thine Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, that by pricking them to the heart they might cry out for redemption and obtain it. Oh! heavenly Lord! Oh Son of David, and David’s Lord, what a precious view of thy mercy doth this afford! See Act_2:22-23; Act_2:37 , etc.<\/p>\n 2Sa 1:13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.<\/p>\n Ver. 13. I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.<\/strong> ] This he had said before in David’s hearing, 2Sa 1:8 but he being full of grief, minded it not belike.<\/p>\n 2Sa 1:8 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 21:16 – Ahab rose up Psa 18:44 – strangers<\/p>\n 2Sa 1:13-14. The son of a stranger This expression signifies one who resided among the Israelites, and had embraced their religion, though not admitted into their communion. David said, How wast thou not afraid to destroy the Lords anointed? Who possibly might have recovered, and been carried off by some of his own men; the Philistines, by some extraordinary providence of God, being diverted from the pursuit. It was the greater presumption in this young man to do it, since none of Sauls own servants durst venture upon such an act.<\/p>\n 1:13 {e} And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.<\/p>\n (e) After the lamentation, he examined him again.<\/p>\n And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 13. the son of a stranger, an Amalekite ] Or, the son of an Amalekite stranger, i.e. an Amalekite who had migrated into the land of Israel.
