New Living Translation

2 Samuel 1:14-18 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. “Why were you not afraid to kill the lord’s anointed one?” David asked.

15. Then David said to one of his men, “Kill him!” So the man thrust his sword into the Amalekite and killed him.

16. “You have condemned yourself,” David said, “for you yourself confessed that you killed the lord’s anointed one.”

17. Then David composed a funeral song for Saul and Jonathan,

18. and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. It is known as the Song of the Bow, and it is recorded in The Book of Jashar.
