Definition and Usage:
The term "killedst" is an archaic form of the verb "killed," found in older English translations of the Bible. It is a second person singular past tense form, often used in the context of addressing an individual directly. In modern translations, this form is typically rendered as "you killed."

Biblical Context:
The concept of killing is addressed extensively throughout the Bible, both in terms of literal physical death and in a metaphorical or spiritual sense. The act of killing is often associated with sin, judgment, and the consequences of disobedience to God's commandments.

Old Testament References:
In the Old Testament, the act of killing is frequently mentioned in the context of warfare, justice, and personal conflict. The commandment "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13) is a fundamental part of the Mosaic Law, underscoring the sanctity of human life. Instances of killing, whether justified or unjustified, are recorded throughout the historical narratives, such as in the accounts of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:8) and David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:50-51).

New Testament References:
In the New Testament, Jesus expands on the commandment against murder, emphasizing the heart's intentions. In Matthew 5:21-22 , Jesus teaches, "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." This highlights the importance of inner purity and the avoidance of hatred, which can lead to the act of killing.

Theological Implications:
From a theological perspective, the act of killing is seen as a violation of the divine order and an affront to the image of God in humanity. The Bible consistently upholds the value of life and calls for justice and mercy. The prohibition against murder is not only a legal requirement but also a moral imperative that reflects God's character and His desire for human relationships to be marked by love and respect.

Moral and Ethical Considerations:
The Bible's teachings on killing extend beyond the physical act to include issues of anger, hatred, and reconciliation. Believers are called to pursue peace and to resolve conflicts in a manner that honors God. The New Testament encourages Christians to live in harmony with others and to seek forgiveness and restoration, as seen in passages like Romans 12:18 : "If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone."

Conclusion:
While the term "killedst" itself may not appear in modern translations, the underlying principles regarding the sanctity of life and the prohibition against murder remain central to biblical teaching. The Bible calls believers to uphold these values in their personal lives and in their interactions with others, reflecting the love and justice of God.
