H1961
Now it came
H310
to pass after
H4194
the death
H7586
of Saul,
H1732
when David
H7725
was returned
H5221
from the slaughter
H6003
of the Amalekites,
H1732
and David
H3427
had stayed
H8147
two
H3117
days
H6860
in Ziklag;
2
H1961
It came
H7992
even to pass on the third
H3117
day,
H2009
that, behold,
H376
a man
H935
came
H4264
out of the camp
H7586
from Saul
H899
with his clothes
H7167
rent,
H127
and earth
H7218
on his head:
H935
and so it was, when he came
H1732
to David,
H5307
that he fell
H776
to the earth,
H7812
and did obeisance.
3
H1732
And David
H559
said
H335
to him, From where
H2088
H935
come
H559
you? And he said
H4264
to him, Out of the camp
H3478
of Israel
H4422
am I escaped.
4
H1732
And David
H559
said
H4100
to him, How
H1961
went
H1697
the matter?
H4994
I pray
H5046
you, tell
H559
me. And he answered,
H5971
That the people
H5127
are fled
H4421
from the battle,
H7235
and many
H5971
of the people
H1571
also
H5307
are fallen
H4191
and dead;
H7586
and Saul
H3083
and Jonathan
H1121
his son
H4191
are dead
H1571
also.
5
H1732
And David
H559
said
H5288
to the young
H5046
man that told
H349
him, How
H3045
know
H7586
you that Saul
H3083
and Jonathan
H1121
his son
H4191
be dead?
6
H5288
And the young
H5046
man that told
H559
him said,
H7136
As I happened
H7122
by chance
H2022
on mount
H1533
Gilboa,
H2009
behold,
H7586
Saul
H8172
leaned
H2595
on his spear;
H2009
and, see,
H7393
the chariots
H1167
and horsemen
H6571
H1692
followed
H1692
hard after him.
7
H6437
And when he looked
H310
behind
H7200
him, he saw
H7121
me, and called
H559
to me. And I answered,
H2009
Here am I.
9
H559
He said
H5975
to me again, Stand,
H4994
I pray
H4191
you, on me, and slay
H7661
me: for anguish
H270
is come
H3588
on me, because
H5315
my life
H5750
is yet
H3605
whole in me.
10
H5975
So I stood
H4191
on him, and slew
H3588
him, because
H3045
I was sure
H2421
that he could not live
H310
after
H5307
that he was fallen:
H3947
and I took
H5145
the crown
H7218
that was on his head,
H685
and the bracelet
H5921
that was on
H2220
his arm,
H935
and have brought
H113
them here to my lord.
11
H1732
Then David
H2388
took hold
H899
on his clothes,
H7167
and rent
H1571
them; and likewise
H3605
all
H582
the men that were with him:
12
H5594
And they mourned,
H1058
and wept,
H6684
and fasted
H5704
until
H6153
even,
H7586
for Saul,
H3083
and for Jonathan
H1121
his son,
H5971
and for the people
H3068
of the LORD,
H1004
and for the house
H3478
of Israel;
H3588
because
H5307
they were fallen
H2719
by the sword.
13
H1732
And David
H559
said
H5288
to the young
H5046
man that told
H335
him, From where
H2088
H559
are you? And he answered,
H1121
I am the son
H376
of a stranger,
H1616
H6003
an Amalekite.
14
H1732
And David
H559
said
H349
to him, How
H3372
were you not afraid
H7971
to stretch
H3027
forth your hand
H7843
to destroy
H3068
the LORD’s
H4899
anointed?
15
H1732
And David
H7121
called
H259
one
H5288
of the young
H559
men, and said,
H5066
Go
H5066
near,
H6293
and fall
H5221
on him. And he smote
H4191
him that he died.
16
H1732
And David
H559
said
H1818
to him, Your blood
H7218
be on your head;
H6310
for your mouth
H6030
has testified
H559
against you, saying,
H4191
I have slain
H3068
the LORD’s
H4899
anointed.
17
H1732
And David
H6969
lamented
H2063
with this
H7015
lamentation
H5921
over
H7586
Saul
H5921
and over
H3083
Jonathan
H1121
his son:
18
H559
(Also he bade
H3925
them teach
H1121
the children
H3063
of Judah
H7198
the use of the bow:
H2009
behold,
H3789
it is written
H5612
in the book
H3477
of Jasher.)
19
H6643
The beauty
H3478
of Israel
H2491
is slain
H1116
on your high
H349
places: how
H1368
are the mighty
H5307
fallen!
20
H5046
Tell
H1661
it not in Gath,
H1319
publish
H2351
it not in the streets
H831
of Askelon;
H6435
lest
H1323
the daughters
H6430
of the Philistines
H8055
rejoice,
H6435
lest
H1323
the daughters
H6189
of the uncircumcised
H5937
triumph.
21
H2022
You mountains
H1533
of Gilboa,
H408
let there be no
H2919
dew,
H408
neither
H4306
let there be rain,
H7704
on you, nor fields
H8641
of offerings:
H8033
for there
H4043
the shield
H1368
of the mighty
H1602
is vilely
H1602
cast
H4043
away, the shield
H7586
of Saul,
H4899
as though he had not been anointed
H8081
with oil.
22
H1818
From the blood
H2491
of the slain,
H2459
from the fat
H1368
of the mighty,
H7198
the bow
H3083
of Jonathan
H7734
turned
H268
not back,
H2719
and the sword
H7586
of Saul
H7725
returned
H7387
not empty.
23
H7586
Saul
H3083
and Jonathan
H157
were lovely
H5273
and pleasant
H2416
in their lives,
H4194
and in their death
H6504
they were not divided:
H7043
they were swifter
H5404
than eagles,
H1396
they were stronger
H738
than lions.
24
H1323
You daughters
H3478
of Israel,
H1058
weep
H413
over
H7586
Saul,
H3847
who clothed
H8144
you in scarlet,
H5730
with other delights,
H5927
who put
H5716
on ornaments
H2091
of gold
H3830
on your apparel.
25
H349
How
H1368
are the mighty
H5307
fallen
H8432
in the middle
H4421
of the battle!
H3083
O Jonathan,
H2491
you were slain
H1116
in your high places.
