[PapaBear3625]

Nevertheless, thine enemy is in thine hands; and if thou rewardest him according to his works thou art justified; if he has sought thy life, and thy life is endangered by him, thine enemy is in thine hands and thou art justified.

All it's saying is that you are allowed to respond against someone who has demonstrated an intent to kill you. So?
