Why did David cut off their hands and feet?

Malbim: Their hands murdered, and their legs went to inform David.

2)

Why did he hang their bodies by the lake?

1.

Radak: It was so everyone would see, and know that David in the straightness of his heart took vengeance for Beis Sha'ul, even though they were his enemies.

2.

Malbim: It was so no one will be Mezid to strike the king. David did so based on his status of king; it is not Torah law.
