INTRODUCTION: One notes two differing accounts of Saul's death: in this chapter and the one found in 1 Samuel 31:4-5. The previous chapter testifies that Saul died at his own hand, falling on his sword. In this lesson, the account is given that he was killed by an Amalekite. Is there a contradiction in the two accounts? No. The second account is that of the Amalekite who thought he would receive a reward for killing David's enemy. To his surprise, he was instead killed. Did David know he was lying? Perhaps. He covered himself when he said, "Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee" (2 Samuel 1:16). The Amalekite died because he took credit for killing the Lord's anointed. The fact he was lying did not change his fate.
