Dane Daud mabaos asapuniki ring jadma Amaleke punika: “Cai padidi ane patut negen pelih caine. Cai suba ngukum dewek caine sawireh cai ngaku, mungguing cai suba nyedayang sang prabu ane kaselik baan Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa.”
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, David is talking to someone who killed the LORD's anointed king. He is saying that the person is responsible for his own death because he admitted to killing a person chosen by God.
Explained for Children
Imagine if someone at school told you that they broke the principal's favorite toy. You might say, 'You know you're in big trouble because you said you did it.' That's what David is saying to the man who killed the king.
Historical Background
This verse is from the Book of 2 Samuel, written by an unknown author after King David's reign. It describes events that took place around 1000 B.C. The audience was likely the Israelites, and the cultural setting was one of kingship and divine selection of leaders.
Living It Out Today
In modern times, this verse can remind us of the importance of taking responsibility for our actions. If you do something wrong and admit it, you should be prepared to face the consequences, just like the man who admitted killing the king.
