2Samuel 1
1Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;H310H4194H7586H1732H7725H5221H6002H1732H3427H8147H3117H68602It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.H7992H3117H376H935H4264H7586H899H7167H127H7218H935H1732H5307H776H78123And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.H1732H559H935H559H4264H3478H44224And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. / How…: Heb. What was, etcH1732H559H4100H1697H5046H559H5971H5127H4421H7235H5971H5307H4191H7586H3083H1121H41915And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?H1732H559H5288H5046H3045H7586H3083H1121H41916And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.H5288H5046H559H7136H7122H2022H1533H7586H8172H2595H7393H1167H6571H16927And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. / Here…: Heb. Behold meH6437H310H7200H7121H5598And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.H559H559H60039He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. / anguish…: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etcH559H5975H4191H7661H270H531510So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.H5975H4191H3045H2421H310H5307H3947H5145H7218H685H2220H935H11311Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:H1732H2388H899H7167H58212And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.H5594H1058H6684H6153H7586H3083H1121H5971H3068H1004H3478H5307H271913And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.H1732H559H5288H5046H559H1121H376H1616H600314And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?H1732H559H3372H7971H3027H7843H3068H489915And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.H1732H7121H259H5288H559H5066H6293H5221H419116And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed.H1732H559H1818H7218H6310H6030H559H4191H3068H489917And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:H1732H6969H7015H7586H3083H112118(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.) / of Jasher: or, of the uprightH559H3925H1121H3063H7198H3789H5612H347719The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!H6643H3478H2491H1116H1368H530720Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.H5046H1661H1319H2351H831H1323H6430H8055H1323H6189H593721Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.H2022H1533H2919H4306H7704H8641H4043H1368H1602H4043H7586H4899H808122From 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.H1818H2491H2459H1368H7198H3083H7734H268H2719H7586H7725H738723Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. / pleasant: or, sweetH7586H3083H157H5273H2416H4194H6504H7043H5404H1396H73824Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.H1323H3478H1058H7586H3847H8144H5730H5927H5716H2091H383025How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!
