2 Samuel 1:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch
forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and
fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy
mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the
LORD's anointed.
2 Samuel 1:14-16 New Life Version (NLV)
14 Then David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put out
your hand to destroy the Lord’s chosen one?”15 Then David called
one of the young men and said, “Go, cut him down.” So he hit him
and he died. 16 David said to him, “Your blood is on your head.
Because your mouth has spoken against you, saying, ‘I have
killed the Lord’s chosen one.’”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
14 David saw this man as showing disrespect not only to Saul and
the kingdom of Israel but to the Lord who chose Saul as king.
David that this man had no respect for what the Lord wanted,
this man was trying to win favor with David but we should never
attempt to win favor by losing favor of the Lord.
15 David ordered for his death because of him killing the king,
David was just in having him killed because he killed the king,
for David to let this man go would be him disrespecting God’s
authority. David would not become king by undermining Saul’s
reign.
16 David tells him why he was put to death; it is not a murder
but David giving him the death penalty, a life for a life. David
does not cause his death too brutally and slow as many in those
days would.
