And he said[H8799] H4264unto him, Out of the campH3478of IsraelH4422am I escaped[H8738] . 4 H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H4100unto him, HowH1697went the matterH5046? I pray thee, tell[H8685] H559me. And he answered[H8799] H5971, That the peopleH5127are fled[H8804] H4421from the battleH7235, and many[H8687] H5971of the peopleH5307also are fallen[H8804] H4191and dead[H8799] H7586; and SaulH3083and JonathanH1121his sonH4191are dead[H8804] also. 5 H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H5288unto the young manH5046that told[H8688] H3045him, How knowest[H8804] H7586thou that SaulH3083and JonathanH1121his sonH4191be dead[H8804] ? 6 H5288And the young manH5046that told[H8688] H559him said[H8799] H7136, As I happened[H8738] H7122by chance[H8736] H2022upon mountH1533GilboaH7586, behold, SaulH8172leaned[H8737] H2595upon his spearH7393; and, lo, the chariotsH1167and horsemenH6571 H1692followed hard[H8689] after him. 7 H6437And when he looked[H8799] H310behindH7200him, he saw[H8799] H7121me, and called[H8799] H559unto me. And I answered[H8799] , Here am I. 8 H559And he said[H8799] H559unto me, Who art thou? And I answered[H8799] H6003him, I am an Amalekite. 9 H559He said[H8799] H5975unto me again, Stand[H8798] H4191, I pray thee, upon me, and slay[H8786] H7661me: for anguishH270is come[H8804] H5315upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. 10 H5975So I stood[H8799] H4191upon him, and slew[H8787] H3045him, because I was sure[H8804] H2421that he could not live[H8799] H310afterH5307that he was fallen[H8800] H3947: and I took[H8799] H5145the crownH7218that was upon his headH685, and the braceletH2220that was on his armH935, and have brought[H8686] H113them hither unto my lord. 11 H1732Then DavidH2388took hold[H8686] H899on his clothesH7167, and rent[H8799] H582them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 12 H5594And they mourned[H8799] H1058, and wept[H8799] H6684, and fasted[H8799] H6153until evenH7586, for SaulH3083, and for JonathanH1121his sonH5971, and for the peopleH3068of the LORDH1004, and for the houseH3478of IsraelH5307; because they were fallen[H8804] H2719by the sword. 13 H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H5288unto the young manH5046that told[H8688] H559him, Whence art thou? And he answered[H8799] H1121, I am the sonH376of a strangerH1616 H6003, an Amalekite. 14 H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H3372unto him, How wast thou not afraid[H8804] H7971to stretch forth[H8800] H3027thine handH7843to destroy[H8763] H3068the LORD'SH4899anointed? 15 H1732And DavidH7121called[H8799] H259oneH5288of the young menH559, and said[H8799] H5066, Go near[H8798] H6293, and fall[H8798] H5221upon him. And he smote[H8686] H4191him that he died[H8799] . 16 H1732And DavidH559said[H8799] H1818unto him, Thy bloodH7218be upon thy headH6310; for thy mouthH6030hath testified[H8804] H559against thee, saying[H8800] H4191, I have slain[H8790] H3068the LORD'SH4899anointed. 17 H1732And DavidH6969lamented[H8787] H7015with this lamentationH7586over SaulH3083and over JonathanH1121his son: 18 H559(Also he bade[H8799] H3925them teach[H8763] H1121the childrenH3063of JudahH7198the use of the bowH3789: behold, it is written[H8803] H5612in the bookH3477of Jasher.) 19 H6643The beautyH3478of IsraelH2491is slainH1116upon thy high placesH1368: how are the mightyH5307fallen[H8804] ! 20 H5046Tell[H8686] H1661it not in GathH1319, publish[H8762] H2351it not in the streetsH831of AskelonH1323; lest the daughtersH6430of the PhilistinesH8055rejoice[H8799] H1323, lest the daughtersH6189of the uncircumcisedH5937triumph[H8799] . 21 H2022Ye mountainsH1533of GilboaH2919, let there be no dewH4306, neither let there be rainH7704, upon you, nor fieldsH8641of offeringsH4043: for there the shieldH1368of the mightyH1602is vilely cast away[H8738] H4043, the shieldH7586of SaulH4899, as though he had not been anointedH8081with oil. 22 H1818From the bloodH2491of the slainH2459, from the fatH1368of the mightyH7198, the bowH3083of JonathanH7734turned[H8738] H268not backH2719, and the swordH7586of SaulH7725returned[H8799] H7387not empty. 23 H7586SaulH3083and JonathanH157were lovely[H8737] H5273and pleasantH2416in their livesH4194, and in their deathH6504they were not divided[H8738] H7043: they were swifter[H8804] H5404than eaglesH1396, they were stronger[H8804] H738than lions. 24 H1323Ye daughtersH3478of IsraelH1058, weep over[H8798] H7586SaulH3847, who clothed[H8688] H8144you in scarletH5730, with other delightsH5927, who put[H8688] H5716on ornamentsH2091of goldH3830upon your apparel. 25 H1368How are the mightyH5307fallen[H8804] H8432in the midstH4421of the battleH3083!
