An Amalekite (another foreigner) comes to tell David of Saul's death and ends up killed. Why? Because he killed Saul since Saul's suicide was apparently not successful. David still considers this treason. It is along the lines of, "Well he was finished anyway so I helped it along". Compare this to his armour bearer from yesterday who feared God and would not kill the king.
Our challenge is again not to try and help God do God's work. The ONLY thing we are called to do concerns ourself and own behaviour and character. God might well call us to do things involving others but this should only be those we are in authority over and only when God tells us to.
Authority is what keeps our house in order, lack of authority leads to Anarchy which leads to getting nothing much done!
