I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

^17:28 Now when David's oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. "Why have you come down here?" he asked. "And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart-you have come down to see the battle!"

And he smote him that he died. ^1:16 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.

^1:9 Then he begged me, 'Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.' ^1:10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord." ^1:15 Then David summoned one of the young men and said, "Go, execute him!"

Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. ^21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
