2 Samuel 1:13-16 New International Version (NIV)
13 David said to the young man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?”
“I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite,” he answered.
14 David asked him, “Why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?”
15 Then David called one of his men and said, “Go, strike him down!” So he struck him down, and he died. 16 For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed.’”
In order to understand the passage for today you need to read the previous verses in this chapter. The young man had just brought David bad news that King Saul and his son Jonathan were dead and that he was the one who killed King Saul at the kings request. David is shocked by this news and orders the Amalekite to be killed.
We should remember that human life is sacred from conception to natural death. Let us remember that all people are created in God’s image and they deserve our respect.

2 SAMWELI 1:13-16
13 Naye Daudi akamwambia yule kijana aliyempa habari, Watoka wapi wewe? Akajibu, Mimi ni mwana wa mgeni, Mwamaleki.
14 Daudi akamwambia, Jinsi gani hukuogopa kuunyosha mkono wako umwangamize masihi wa BWANA?
15 Ndipo Daudi akamwita mmoja wa vijana, akamwambia, Mwendee, ukamwangukie. Basi akampiga hata akafa.
16 Daudi akamwambia, Damu yako na iwe juu ya kichwa chako mwenyewe; maana umejishuhudia nafsi yako ukisema, Nimemwua masihi wa Bwana.
Ukitaka kuelewa somo ya leo itabidi usome mistari iliyotangulia. Kijana alimletea Daudi habari mbaya. Alileta habari kwamba Mfalme Sauli na Mwanaye Yonathani waliuwawa katika vita. Pia kijana yule alimuua Mfalme Sauli kwa ombi lake baada Mfalme kupata majaraha katika vita.
Daudi alikasirishwa na habari hii na aliamrisha Kijana yule awawe.
Tukumbuke binadamu tumeumbwa kwa mfano wa Mungu na maisha ya binadamu wote tangu tumboni wa mamaye hadi kifo cha asili yako mkononi wa Mungu. Amri ya tano ni “Usiue”. Tuheshimu maisha ya binadamu wote.
