2 Samuel 4:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ David answered them, “I take a vow by the living Lord, who has saved me from all dangers! ^10 (A)The messenger who came to me at Ziklag and told me of Saul's death thought he was bringing good news. I seized him and had him put to death. That was the reward I gave him for his good news! ¹¹ How much worse it will be for evil men who murder an innocent man asleep in his own house! I will now take revenge on you for murdering him and will wipe you off the face of the earth!”
