Commentary on 1 Samuel 31:13

Theological / Devotional

Whence art thou? While David mourned for Saul, the Amalekite stood idly by, unable to understand the significance of the scene he was witnessing. Recovering from his first shock of grief, David turned to the young man before him, desiring further details concerning the crime of which he had already confessed himself guilty.

Stranger. Heb. ger, literally, “sojourner.” His father was an Amalekite who “sojourned” as a resident alien in Israel.
