And I toke the crowne that was vpon hys heed, and the Braselet that was on hys arme, and haue brought them hyther vnto my Lorde. ¹¹ Then Dauid toke holde on hys clothes, and rent them, and so dyd all the men that were wt him ¹² And they mourned, and wepte, and fasted vntyll euen, for Saul and Ionathas his sonne, & for the people of the Lorde, and for the house of Israel, because they were ouerthrowen with the swerde. ¹³ And Dauid sayde vnto the younge man that brought him these tydinges.

Ionathas is deed on the hye hylles. ²⁶ Woo is me for the (my brother Ionathas) verye kynde hast thou bene vnto me.

⁵ Els your bloude of your lyues wyll I requyre. From the hande of euery beaste wyll I requyre it, and from the hande of man: From the hande of mans brother wyll I requyre the lyfe of man. ⁶ Who so sheddeth mannes bloude, by man shall hys bloude be shedde: For in the ymage of God, dyd God make man.

⁹ Whosoeuer he be, that curseth his father or hys mother, let hym dye: for he hath cursed hys father and mother, hys bloude be vpon him.

¹¹ And the man that lyeth with hys fathers wyfe, & vncouereth hys fathers secrettes, let them both dye, their bloude be vpon them. ¹² If a man lye with his daughter in lawe, let them dye both of them: they haue wrought abhominacion, their bloud be vpon them. ¹³ If a man also lye wyth mankynde after the maner as wyth woman kynde, they haue both commytted an abhominacyon: let them dye. Their bloude be vpon them.

¹⁶ If a woman go vnto any beast, & lye downe therto: thou shalt kyll the woman and the beast also, let them dye, their bloude be vpon them.

¹⁰ that innocent bloude be not shed in thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret, and so bloude come vpon the.

¹⁹ And then whosoeuer doth go out at the dores of thy house, into the streat, his bloude shalbe vpon his awne head, & we wilbe giltlesse. And whosoeuer shalbe with the in the house, hys bloude shall be on oure heade, yf any mannes hande touche him:

²⁴ & wisshed that the wickednes done to the .lxx. sonnes of Ierobaal myght come on him, and that god wolde laye the bloude of them vnto Amelech their brother which slewe them, and vpon the other men of Sichem which ayded him in the kylling of his brethren.

¹⁰ And so I stode vpon hym, and slue him: for I was sure that he coulde not lyue, after that he had fallen. And I toke the crowne that was vpon hys heed, and the Braselet that was on hys arme, and haue brought them hyther vnto my Lorde.

²⁸ And when after warde it cam to Dauids eare, he sayd. I and my kyngdom are giltlesse before the Lorde for euer concernyng the bloude of Abner the sonne of Ner. ²⁹ Let the bloude remayne on the heed of Ioab & on all his fathers house that the house of Ioab be neuer wythout one or other that hath runnyng issues or leper, and that leaneth on a staff, and that doth fal on the swerde, & lacketh breed.

³² And the Lorde shall bryng hys bloud vpon his awne heed, for he smote two men right wyser and better then he, and slue them with the swerde, my father Dauid not knowynge therof: euen Abner the sonne of Ner, captayne of the hoost of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoost of Iuda. ³³ Theyr bloude shall therfore returne vpon the heed of Ioab, and on the heed of hys seed for euer. But vpon Dauid, and vpon his seed, and vpon hys house, and vpon hys seate shall there be peace for euer of the Lord.

³⁷ For be thou sure, that the daye that thou goest out, and passest ouer the ryuer of Cedron, thou shalte dye that daye, and thy bloude shalbe vpon thyne awne heade.

⁶ Thyne awne mouth condempneth the, and not I: yee, thyne awne lyppes shape an answer agaynst the.

² thou art bounde wt thyne awne wordes, and taken with thine awne speache.

¹³ he lendeth vpon vsury, & taketh more ouer. Shall this man lyue? He shall not lyue. Seynge he hath done all these abhominacyons, he shall dye, his bloude shalbe vpon him.

⁵ for he herde the sound of the trompet, & wolde not take hede, therfore his bloude be vpon him. But yf he will receaue warninge, he shall saue his lyfe.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayd his bloud be on vs, and on oure children.

²² He sayeth vnto hym: Of thyne awne mouth, wyll I iugde the, thou euyll seruaunt. Knewest thou that I am a strayte man, takynge vp that I layde not downe, & reapynge that I dyd not sowe?

²⁶ Wherfore, I take you to recorde this daye that I am pure from the bloude of all men.

¹⁹ We knowe that what thynges soeuer the lawe sayth, it sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, & that all the worlde maye be subdued to God,

¹¹ And when the inhabiters of the lande (euen the Cananytes) sawe the mournynge in the corne floore of Atad, they sayde: thys is a greate mournynge vnto the Egyptians. Wherfore the name of the place is called, The mournynge of the Egyptians, and it is beyonde Iordane:

¹⁹ O noble Israell, the wounded are slayne vpon thy hilles: Oh howe are the myghtie ouerthrowen.

²⁵ And Ieremia lamented Iosia, and all syngynge men and synginge wemen mourned for Iosia in their lamentacions, to thys daye, and made the same lamentacions an ordinaunce in Israel, & behold, they be wryten in the lamentacions.

¹⁷ Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lord of Hostes. Beware of the vengeaunce that hangeth ouer you: and cal for mourning wyues, & sende for wyse wemen: that they come shortly, ¹⁸ and synge a mournynge songe of you: that the teares may fall out of oure eyes, and that our eye lyddes maye gusshe out of water. ¹⁹ For there is a lamentable noyse hearde of Sion. O how are we so sore destroyed? O how are we so pyteously confounded? We must forsake our awne naturall countre, & we are shut out of oure awne lodgynges. ²⁰ Yet heare the worde of the Lorde (O ye wemen) & let youre eares regarde the wordes of his mouth: that ye may lerne youre daughters to mourne, & that euery one may teach her neyghbouresse, to make lamentacyon. ²¹ Namely thus: Death is clymynge vp in at oure wyndowes, he is come into oure houses, to destroye the chylde before the dore, and the yonge man in the strete.

⁸ Iuda thou art he, whom thy brethren shall prayse. Thy hande shalbe in the necke of thyne enymies, thy fathers chyldren shall stoupe before the.

¹⁰ Specially the daye that thou stodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord sayed vnto me: gether me the people together, and I wyll make them heare my wordes, that they maye lerne to feare me all the dayes that they shall lyue vpon the erth and that they maye teache their chyldren:

¹³ And the sonne abode, and the mone stode styll, vntyll the people aduenged them selues vpon their enemyes. Is not this written in the boke of the ryghtwes? The sonne (I saye) abode in the myddes of heauen and hasted not to goo doune by that space of a whole daye.

⁷ For what other nacyon is so greate, that Goddes come so nye vnto: as the Lorde oure God is nye vnto vs, in all thynges as oft as we call vnto him? ⁸ Ye, & what nacyon is so greate, that hath ordinaunces & lawes so righteous, as all this lawe whyche I sett before you this daye?

⁸ On the morowe when the Philistines were come to spoyle them that were slayne, they founde Saul and hys thre sonnes lyenge in mount Gilboa.

²³ Saul and Ionathas were louely & pleasaunt in their lyues, and in their deathes they were not deuided: They were swifter then Egles, and stronger then Lyons.

²⁵ Howe were the myghtye slayne in battell? Ionathas is deed on the hye hylles.

²⁷ O howe are the myghtie ouerthrowen, and the wepons of warre destroyed?

² After that tyme shall the braunche of the Lorde be bewtyfull and myghtye, and the frute of the earth shalbe fayre and pleasaunt for those Israelytes that shal spring therof.

² For he dyd growe before the Lord lyke as a braunche, & as a rote in a drye grounde, he hath nether bewtye nor fauoure. When we shall loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shall haue no lust vnto him.

¹ Alas, howe hath the Lorde darckened the daughter of Syon so sore in hys wrath? As for the honour of Israel he hath cast it downe from heauen vnto the erth. Howe happeneth it, that he remembred not his awne fote stole when he was angre?

⁷ I my selfe fedde the slaughter shepe (a poore flocke verely) and toke vnto me two staues: the one is called louyng mekenesse, the other is called destroyer, and so kepte the shepe.

¹⁰ I toke also my louynge meke staff, and brake it, that I myght disanull the couenaunt, which I made wyth all people.

²⁰ And Mir Iam a prophetysse the syster of Aaron toke a tymbrell in her hande, & all the wemen came out after her wt tymbrels & daunces. ²¹ And Mir Iam sange before them: Synge ye vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse & his ryder hath he ouerthrowne in the see.

²⁶ I haue sayde: I will skater them abrode, and make the remembraunce of them to ceasse from amonge men. ²⁷ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemye, lest their aduersaries shulde vtterly wythdrawe them selues, and lest they shulde saye: oure hye hande hath done all thys, and not the Lorde.

³⁴ When Iephthah came to Mazphah vnto his house, se, his daughter came out agaynst him, with tymberelles & daunses, which was his onely childe: so that besyde her, he had nether sonne, nor daughter.

¹⁹ And the sprete of the Lorde came vpon hym. And he went downe to Askalon, and slewe thyrty men of them, and spoyled them, and gaue chaunge of garmentes vnto them whych expounded the ryddle. And he was wroth, and went vp to hys fathers house.

²³ Then the lordes of the Philistines gathered them together, for to offer a solempne offrynge vnto Dagon theyr God, and to reioyse: for they sayde, oure God hath delyuered Samson oure enemy into oure handes. ²⁴ And when the people sawe hym, they praysed theyr God: for they sayde: our God hath delyuered into oure handes oure enemy, and destroyer of oure countreye, whych slue manye of vs.

²⁶ And Dauid spake to the men that stode by, and sayde: What shalbe done to the man that beateth this Philistine, & taketh awaye the shame from Israel? And what is thys vncircumcised Philistine, that he shulde reuyle the hoste of the lyuinge God?

³⁶ And so thy seruaunt slue the Lyon & the beare (also) hath thy seruaunt slayne. And truly thys vncircumcised Philistine shalbe as one of them seynge he hath rayled on the hoste of the lyuing God.

⁶ And it happened as they went, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that wemen came out of all cyties of Israel syngynge & daunsyng, agaynst kynge Saul, and wyth tymbrelles, wyth ioye, and with instrumentes of musick.

⁸ On the morowe when the Philistines were come to spoyle them that were slayne, they founde Saul and hys thre sonnes lyenge in mount Gilboa. ⁹ And they cut of his heed, and stripped him out of his harnesse: & sent into the lande of the Philistines on euery syde, that they shulde publysshe it in the temple of their Idolles, and amonge the people.

²⁷ Beholde, I dyd stretch out myne hande ouer the, & dyd minishe thy stoare of fode, and delyuer the ouer in to the wylles of the Philistines thine enemyes, which are ashamed of thy abhominable waye.

⁵⁷ & before thy wickednesse came to lyght: thou woldest not heare speake of thy syster Sodoma, vntyll the tyme that the Syrians with all their townes, & the Philistines with all that lye rounde aboute them, brought the to shame & confusyon:

¹⁰ Wepe not, lest they at Geth perceaue it. Thou at Bataphra, welter thy selfe in the dust & asshes.

²³ Curse ye the cite of Meros (sayd the angell of the Lord) cursse the inhabitours therof, because they came not to helpe the Lorde, to helpe the Lorde with the myghtie.

¹ And then Samuel toke a vessell of oyle, & powred it vpon hys heed, & kyssed him, & sayde: hath not the Lord anoynted the, to be captayne ouer hys enheritaunce?

¹ The Philistines fought agaynst Israel and the men of Israel fledd awaye from the Philistines, & fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.

¹ And the Philistines fought agaynst Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, & were ouerthrowen & wounded in Mounte Gilboa.

⁸ And it fortuned that on the morowe when the Philistines came (to stripe the deed bodies) they founde Saul & hys sonnes ouerthrowen in mount Gilboe.

³ lost be that daye, wherin I was borne, and the nyght, in the which it was sayde: there is a man chylde conceaued. ⁴ The same daye be turned to darckenes, and not regarded of God from aboue, nether lett hym shyne vpon it with lyght, ⁵ but let it be stayned with darcknesse, and the shadowe of death. Let the dymme cloude fall vpon it, and lett it be lapped in with sorowe on the daye tyme. ⁶ Let the darcke storme ouercome that nyght, and lett it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeare, ner counted in the monethes. ⁷ Desolate be that night, and without gladnesse, lett them that curse the daye, ⁸ and that be ready to rayse vp mournyng, geue it also their curse. ⁹ Let the starres of that night be dymme thorow darcknesse of it. Let it loke for lyght, but lett it se none, nether the rysynge vp of the fayre mornynge: ¹⁰ because it shut not vp the wombe that bare me. For then shulde these sorowes haue bene hyd from myne eyes.

⁶ I will laye it waste, that it shall nether be digged nor cut, but beare thornes and brears. I will also forbyd the cloudes that they shall not rayne vpon it.

⁵ Whyle they garnished the table, the watch man loked: And while I was eatynge and drynkyng (it was sayde:) vp ye captaynes, take you to your shylde.

¹⁴ Cursed be the daye, wherin I was borne, vnhappie be the daye, wherin my mother brought me forth. ¹⁵ Cursed be the man, that brought my father the tydinges to make him glad, saying: thou hast gotten a sonne. ¹⁶ Let it happen vnto that man, as to the cyties which the Lord turned vp syde downe. Lett him heare cryenge in the mornynge, and at none daye lamentable howlynge.

¹⁵ Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lord God: In the daye when he goeth downe to the graue I will cause a lamentacyon to be made, I will couer the depe vpon him, I will staunch his floudes, and the great waters shalbe restrayned. I shall cause Lybanus to be sorowfull for his sake, and all the trees of the felde shall be smytten.

⁹ For the meate and drynckoffringe shalbe taken awaye from the house of the Lorde, and the prestes the Lordes minysters shall mourne.

¹⁴ Then (no doute) he also shall turne, and forgeue, and after his chastenynge, he shall lett your increase remayne, for meat and drinckoffrynges vnto the Lord your God?

⁴² I will make myne arowes droncke with bloude, and my swerde shall eate fleshe, & that for the bloude of the slayne, & for their captiuite, sens the begynnynge of the wrath of the enemye.

⁶ And Ionathas sayd to the younge man that bare his harnesse: come and let vs go ouer vnto the watch of these vncircumcised, paraduenture the Lorde will worke wt vs: for it is no hardnesse wt the Lord to saue ether in manye or in fewe. ⁷ And his harnesberar sayde vnto him: do all that is in thyne hert: Go where it pleaseth the: Behold, I am wt the, as thine hert lusteth. ⁸ Then sayde Ionathas: beholde, we go ouer vnto these men, & shall shew oure selues vnto them: ⁹ yf they saye on this wise to vs: tarye, vntill we come to you, then we will stande stil in or place, & not go vp vnto them. ¹⁰ But & yf they saye: come vp vnto vs, then we will go vp, for the Lorde hath delyuered them into oure handes And thys shalbe a sygne vnto vs. ¹¹ And they bothe shewed them selues vnto the watch of the Philistines. And the Philistines sayde: se, the Hebrues come out of the holes where they had hydd them selues in. ¹² And the men of the watche answered Ionathas and his harnesbearer, & sayde, come vp to vs, and we will shew you a thinge. And Ionathas sayde vnto his harnesbearer, come vp after me, for the Lord hath delyuered them into the hande of Israel. ¹³ And Ionathas clame vp vpon handes & fete, & his harnesberer after him. And they fell before Ionathas: & his harnesberer slue them after hym. ¹⁴ And that first slaughter which Ionathas and his harnesberer made, was vpon a twentie men, within the compasse as it were about an halfe aker of lande.

⁴ And Ionathas put of his awne coate that was vpon him, & gaue it Dauid, & therto his cloke, his swerd, his bowe and hys gyrdle.

⁶ And the Lordes swearde shalbe full of bloude, & be rusty wt the fatnes and bloude of lambes and goates, with the fatnesse of the kidneys of wethers. For the Lord shall kill a great offering in Bozra, & a great slaughter in the lande of Idumea. ⁷ There shall the vnicornes fall wt them, and the bulles wt the gyauntes: and their lande shalbe thorowely soaked with bloude, & their grounde corrupt with fatnes.

⁴⁹ And the Lord shall brynge a nacyon vpon the from a farre, and from the ende of the worlde, as swifte as an egle flyeth: a nacyon whose tonge thou shalt not vnderstande:

¹⁸ And the men of the cytie sayd vnto hym the seuenth daye, before the sonne went downe. What is sweter then honye, & what is stronger then a lyon? Then sayde he vnto them: If ye had not plowed with my caulfe, ye had not founde out my rydle.

¹ And when he had made an ende of speakynge vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathas was knyt wyth the soule of Dauid, and Ionathas loued hym as hys awne soule.

² He sayde vnto him: God forbyd, thou shalt not dye. Beholde, my father will do nothynge ether great or small, but that he will shewe it me. And howe shulde my father hyde thys thynge from me? He wyll not do it.

¹ The Philistines fought agaynst Israel and the men of Israel fledd awaye from the Philistines, & fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa. ² And the Philistynes preased sore vpon Saul & his sonnes, & slewe Ionathas, & Abinadab & Melchisua Sauls sonnes. ³ And whan the battell went sore agaynst Saul, the archers with bowes founde hym, & he was sore afrayed of the archers.

¹⁸ And there were thre sonnes of Zaruiah there: Ioab, Abisai and Asahel. And Asahel was as lyght of fote as a wylde Roo,

²⁰ And Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada (the sonne of a myghtie man) valyant in actes, of kabzeel, slue two stronge lyons, euen lyons of Moab. He went downe also, & slue a lyon in a pyt in tyme of snowe.

⁸ And of the Gadites there separated them selues, some vnto Dauid into the holde of the wyldernesse, men of myghte, and men apte for warre, & that coulde handle shylde and speare, whose faces were lyke the faces of Lions, and they were as swyfte as the Rooes in the mountaynes:

²⁶ They are passed awaye, as the shyppes that be good vnder sayle, and as the aegle that flieth to the praye.

³⁰ A Lyon, which is strongest among beastes, and geueth place to no man:

¹³ For lo, he commeth downe lyke as a cloude, and his charrettes are lyke a stormye wynde: His horsemen are swyfter then the Egle. Woo vnto vs, for we are destroyed.

¹⁹ Oure persecuters are swyfter then the Aegles of the ayre, they folowed vpon vs ouer the mountaynes and layed wayte for vs in the wyldernesse.

³⁰ Surely they haue founde, they deuyde the spoyles: euery man hath a damsell or two: Sisera hath a praye of diuerse couloured garmentes, euen a praye of rayment dyed wt sondrye coloures, & that are made of nedle worke: rayment of diuerses coloures & of nedle worke which is mete for him that is chefe in distributinge of the spoyles.

¹² Kynges with theyr armyes dyd flye, and were discomfited, and they of the houshold deuyded the spoyle.

²¹ She feareth not that the colde of wynter shall hurte her house, for all her housholde folkes are clothed with skarlett.

¹⁶ Moreouer, thus sayth the lord: Seing the daughters of Sion are be come so proude, and come in wt stretched out neckes and with vayne wanton eyes: seynge they come in tryppyng so nycely with theyr fete: ¹⁷ Therfore shall the Lorde shaue the heades of the daughters of Sion, and shal discouer theyr shame. ¹⁸ In that daye shall the Lord take awaye the gorgiousnes of theyr apparell, and spanges, cheynes, partelettes, ¹⁹ and colarres, bracelettes and hooues, ²⁰ the goodly floured, wyde and brodered rayment, brooches, and headbandes, ²¹ rynges and garlandes, ²² holy daye clothes and vales, kerchefes and pinnes, ²³ glasses and cypresses, bonettes and taches. ²⁴ And in steade of good smell, there shalbe stynck amonge them. And for theyr gyrdles there shalbe lowse bandes. And for well sett heare there shalbe baldenesse. In steade of a stomacher, a sack cloth, and for theyr bewty witherdnesse, and sonne burnyng. ²⁵ Youre housbandes and myghtie men shall perysh with the swerde in batayle. ²⁶ At that tyme shal theyr gates mourne and complayne, and they shall sytt as desolate folck vpon the earth.

³² Doth a mayden forget her rayment, or a bryde her stomacher? But as for my people they haue forget me, dayes innumerable.

⁹ Lykewise also the wemen, that they araye them selues in comlye apparell wyth shamfastnes and discrete behaueour, not wt broyded heare, ether golde or pearles, or costly araye: ¹⁰ but as becommeth wemen, that professe godlynesse thorowe good worckes.

³ Whose apparell shall not be outward wt broyded heare, & hangyng on of golde, ether in puttynge on of gorgyous apparell: ⁴ but let the hyd man which is in the herte, be without all corrupcyon, so that the sprete be at rest and quyete: whych sprete is before God a thynge moch set by. ⁵ For after this maner in the olde tyme dyd the holy wemen which trusted in God, tyer them selues, and were obedient to their husbandes,

¹⁸ But the people of Zabulon haue ieoperde their lyues euen vnto the dethe, lyke as did Nephthalim in the hye places of the felde.

¹³ And Ionathas clame vp vpon handes & fete, & his harnesberer after him. And they fell before Ionathas: & his harnesberer slue them after hym. ¹⁴ And that first slaughter which Ionathas and his harnesberer made, was vpon a twentie men, within the compasse as it were about an halfe aker of lande. ¹⁵ And ther was a feare in the host, in the felde, & amonge all people: in so moche that they that were gone out of the watche to robbe, were afrayde also: and the erth trymbled, for the feare that was sent of God.

¹ And when he had made an ende of speakynge vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathas was knyt wyth the soule of Dauid, and Ionathas loued hym as hys awne soule. ² And Saul toke him that daye, and wolde let him go nomore home to hys fathers house. ³ And Ionathas made a couenaunt wyth Dauid, because be loued him as his awne soule. ⁴ And Ionathas put of his awne coate that was vpon him, & gaue it Dauid, & therto his cloke, his swerd, his bowe and hys gyrdle.

² But Ionathas Sauls sonne had a greate fauoure to Dauid, and Ionathas tolde Dauid sayinge: Saul my father goeth aboute to slaye the. Nowe therfore take hede to thy selfe vntyll the mornynge, and abyde in some secret place, and hyde thy selfe.

¹⁷ And wt other wordes dyd Ionathas sweare vnto Dauid, because he loued him. For he loued him, as his awne soule.

¹⁶ And Ionathas Sauls sonne arose, & went to Dauid in to the thicket, & comforted his hand in God,

¹² And Elisa, sawe, & cryed: O my father, O my father, the charet of Israel and the horsemen therof, and he sawe him nomoare: & he toke his awne clothes, & rent them in two peces.

¹⁴ When Elisa was fallen sycke of hys sycknesse (wher of he dyed) Ioas the kinge of Israel came downe vnto hym, & wepte before him, & sayd: O my father, my father, the charet of Israel, & the horsemen of the same.

⁹ He maketh warres to ceasse in all the worlde: he breaketh the bowe & knappeth the speare in sonder, & burneth the charettes in the fyre.

⁹ They that dwel in the cities of Israell, shall go forth and set fyre vpon the weapens, and burne them: shyldes and speres, bowes and arowes, bylles & clubbes: seuen yeares shal they be burnynge therof, ¹⁰ so that they shal els bringe no stickes from the felde, nether haue nede to hewe downe eny out of the wodde. For they shal haue weapens ynowe to burne. They shal robbe those that robbed them, & spoyle those that spoyled them sayeth the Lord God.
