“The children of Israel shall come,
(A)They and the children of Judah together;

Proverbs 26:23-26
New King James Version
23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross.
24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips,
And lays up deceit within himself;
25 (A)When [a]he speaks kindly, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart;
26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.

2 Samuel 1:2-16
New King James Version
2 on the third day, behold, it happened that (A)a man came from Saul’s camp (B)with his clothes [a]torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he (C)fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?”
So he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
4 Then David said to him, (D)“How did the matter go? Please tell me.”
And he answered, “The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and (E)Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5 So David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 Then the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance to be on (F)Mount Gilboa, there was (G)Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 7 Now when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 8 And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 9 He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for [b]anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.’ 10 So I stood over him and (H)killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and (I)tore them, and so did all the men who were with him. 12 And they (J)mourned and wept and (K)fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the (L)people of the Lord and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Then David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?”
And he answered, “I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite.”
14 So David said to him, “How (M)was it you were not (N)afraid to (O)put forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?” 15 Then (P)David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and execute him!” And he struck him so that he died. 16 So David said to him, (Q)“Your blood is on your own head, for (R)your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”
