An Amalekite was hoping for a reward from David

2 Samuel 1:1-16
An Amalekite came to David's camp and reported that he killed Saul when he leaned on his spear.
This man should not a member of Israelite but the enemy. He tries to get some benefit from David for he knew Saul is pursuing David.
The Amalekites' story differs from the account of Saul's death in 1 Samuel 31. If he wisted the facts hoping for a reward, he did not know David. After the Amalekite raid on Ziklag David had no cause to love his race. Nonetheless, it was not racial discrimination but his strong conviction that the king's life was sacred that led to the death sentence.
Why?
In the battle, there is a confusing place, no one knew the truth and belonging. Some thieves or men with greedy hearts may take some benefit.
But David is honoring the Lord, they mourning for Saul's death and kill this guy who killed Saul.
Anyone who against the Lord's anointed is against the Lord.
How?
Honor the name of the Lord with honor the anointed servant of the Lord.
亞瑪力人為了討人的喜悅，因此做出許多詭詐的事，欺騙人，爭取人的好處，為了自己。
如果討好神，只要說明願意投靠就好了
如果表示討厭掃羅，會使國內分為兩派，不易成為合一的國度。
放下自己，不殺掃羅，不希望發生內戰。
大衛以耶和華的心為心，為掃羅的死哀哭。
看重耶穌耶和華的名，是教會家人，不是看見別人的缺點。為了全國的合一。
