1 | Who killed Saul? | 2 Sam 1:10 | prayon | 9214 | ||
Saul committed suicide rather than be killed by the Philistines. 2 Samuel 1:3-4 states that Saul was "leaning on his spear" which tells us that he di indeed kill himself. Saul asked the Amalekite to stand over him and kill him because death was long in coming and he didn't want the Philistines to find him alive. The Amalekite did as Saul asked and then told David that he had killed Saul. | ||||||
2 | Who killed Saul? | 2 Sam 1:10 | Searcher56 | 9413 | ||
Prayon, 1Sa 31:4 says Saul killed himself. Then in verse 5 says his armor-bearer killed himself. The Amalekite is telling a story in 2Sa 1:6-10. He may of claimed to of killed Saul, with hope of getting a reward. He was close enough to get the crown and armband (vs 10). Instead of a reward, he was executed (vv 15-16). Note that David was battling the Amalekites (2Sa 30) just before or at the same time as Saul was in battle with the Phillistines. Steve |
