Bible Note: Hi Seedling, The kind of reward he would be expecting would be the kind of reward that we would expect if we returned something of value to its owner. We might expect nothing or a little token of appreciation, but this Amalekite (a people who was supposed to have been exterminated by Saul but wasn't because of Saul's disobediance) expected the value of the crown and bracelet taken from Saul's body. We know from 1 Samuel 31:4,5 that Saul's armor bearer killed Saul, so this man was a liar and a thief. Plus he was a person that David recognized as a threat to anyone who was the Lord's anointed. 2 Samuel 4:10, "when one told me, saying, 'Behold, Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news." 2 Samuel 1:13, "And David said to the young man who told him, "Where are you from? And he answered, "I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite." 15 And David called one of the young men and said, "Go, cut him down." So he struck him and he died. 16 And David said to him, "Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the (Lord's) anointed.'" 1 Samuel 16:8-11 shows us how David felt about "stretching out his hand" against the Lord's anointed. He said that all of the people who did not protect Saul were deserving of death (see NKJ) because they did not guard the (Lord's) anointed. From the heart, Ray |
