Amplified Bible Help
1NOW AFTER the death of Saul, when David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, he had stayed two days in Ziklag,H310H4194H7586H1732H7725H5221H6002H1732H3427H8147H3117H6860 2When on the third day a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.H7992H3117H376H935H4264H7586H899H7167H127H7218H935H1732H5307H776H7812 3David said to him, Where have you come from? He said, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.H1732H559H935H559H4264H3478H4422 4David said to him, How did it go? Tell me. He answered, The men have fled from the battle. Many have fallen and are dead; Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.H1732H559H4100H1697H5046H559H5971H5127H4421H7235H5971H5307H4191H7586H3083H1121H4191 5David said to the young man, How do you know Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?H1732H559H5288H5046H3045H7586H3083H1121H4191 6The young man said, By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and I saw Saul leaning on his spear, and behold, the chariots and horsemen were close behind him.H5288H5046H559H7136H7122H2022H1533H7586H8172H2595H7393H1167H6571H1692 7When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, Here I am.H6437H310H7200H7121H559 8He asked me, Who are you? I answered, An Amalekite.H559H559H6003 9He said to me, Rise up against me and slay me; for terrible dizziness has come upon me, yet my life is still in me [and I will be taken alive].H559H5975H4191H7661H270H5315 10So I stood up against him and slew him, because I was sure he could not live after he had fallen. So I took the crown on his head and the bracelet on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.H5975H4191H3045H2421H310H5307H3947H5145H7218H685H2220H935H113 11Then David grasped his own clothes and tore them; so did all the men with him.H1732H2388H899H7167H582 12They mourned and wept for Saul and Jonathan his son, and fasted until evening for the Lord's people and the house of Israel, because of their defeat in battle.H5594H1058H6684H6153H7586H3083H1121H5971H3068H1004H3478H5307H2719 13David said to the young man who told him, Where are you from? He answered, I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.H1732H559H5288H5046H559H1121H376H1616H6003 14David said to him, Why were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?H1732H559H3372H7971H3027H7843H3068H4899 15David called one of the young men and said, Go near and fall upon him. And he smote him so that he died.H1732H7121H259H5288H559H5066H6293H5221H4191 16David said to [the fallen man], Your blood be upon your own head; for you have testified against yourself, saying, I have slain the Lord's anointed.H1732H559H1818H7218H6310H6030H559H4191H3068H4899 17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,H1732H6969H7015H7586H3083H1121 18And he commanded to teach it, [the lament of] the bow, to the Israelites. Behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar:H559H3925H1121H3063H7198H3789H5612H3477 19Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your high places. How have the mighty fallen!H6643H3478H2491H1116H1368H5307 20Tell it not in Gath, announce it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.H5046H1661H1319H2351H831H1323H6430H8055H1323H6189H5937 21O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, or fields with offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, as though he were not anointed with oil.H2022H1533H2919H4306H7704H8641H4043H1368H1602H4043H7586H4899H8081 22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.H1818H2491H2459H1368H7198H3083H7734H268H2719H7586H7725H7387 23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In their lives and in their deaths they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.H7586H3083H157H5273H2416H4194H6504H7043H5404H1396H738 24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with [other] delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.H1323H3478H1058H7586H3847H8144H5730H5927H5716H2091H3830 25How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.H1368H5307H8432H4421H3083H2491H1116 26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.H6887H251H3083H3966H5276H160H6381H160H802 27How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!H1368H5307H3627H4421H6
