And he said0559 unto him, Out of the camp4264 of Israel3478 am I escaped4422. 1:4 And David1732 said0559 unto him, How4100 went the matter1697? I pray thee, tell5046 me. And he answered0559, That the people5971 are fled5127 from the battle4421, and many7235 of the people5971 also are fallen5307 and dead4191; and Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 are dead4191 also. 1:5 And David1732 said0559 unto the young man5288 that told5046 him, How knowest3045 thou that Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 be dead4191? 1:6 And the young man5288 that told5046 him said0559, As I happened7136 by chance7122 upon mount2022 Gilboa1533, behold, Saul7586 leaned8172 upon his spear2595; and, lo, the chariots7393 and horsemen1167-6571 followed hard1692 after him. 1:7 And when he looked6437 behind0310 him, he saw7200 me, and called7121 unto me. And I answered0559, Here {am} I. 1:8 And he said0559 unto me, Who {art} thou? And I answered0559 him, I {am} an Amalekite6003. 1:9 He said0559 unto me again, Stand5975, I pray thee, upon me, and slay4191 me: for anguish7661 is come0270 upon me, because my life5315 {is} yet whole in me. 1:10 So I stood5975 upon him, and slew4191 him, because I was sure3045 that he could not live2421 after0310 that he was fallen5307: and I took3947 the crown5145 that {was} upon his head7218, and the bracelet0685 that {was} on his arm2220, and have brought0935 them hither unto my lord0113. 1:11 Then David1732 took hold2388 on his clothes0899, and rent7167 them; and likewise all the men0582 that {were} with him: 1:12 And they mourned5594, and wept1058, and fasted6684 until even6153, for Saul7586, and for Jonathan3083 his son1121, and for the people5971 of the LORD3068, and for the house1004 of Israel3478; because they were fallen5307 by the sword2719. 1:13 And David1732 said0559 unto the young man5288 that told5046 him, Whence {art} thou? And he answered0559, I {am} the son1121 of a stranger0376-1616, an Amalekite6003. 1:14 And David1732 said0559 unto him, How wast thou not afraid3372 to stretch forth7971 thine hand3027 to destroy7843 the LORD'S3068 anointed4899? 1:15 And David1732 called7121 one0259 of the young men5288, and said0559, Go near5066, {and} fall6293 upon him. And he smote5221 him that he died4191. 1:16 And David1732 said0559 unto him, Thy blood1818 {be} upon thy head7218; for thy mouth6310 hath testified6030 against thee, saying0559, I have slain4191 the LORD'S3068 anointed4899. 1:17 And David1732 lamented6969 with this lamentation7015 over Saul7586 and over Jonathan3083 his son1121: 1:18 (Also he bade0559 them teach3925 the children1121 of Judah3063 {the use of} the bow7198: behold, {it is} written3789 in the book5612 of Jasher3477.) 1:19 The beauty6643 of Israel3478 is slain2491 upon thy high places1116: how are the mighty1368 fallen5307! 1:20 Tell5046 {it} not in Gath1661, publish1319 {it} not in the streets2351 of Askelon0831; lest the daughters1323 of the Philistines6430 rejoice8055, lest the daughters1323 of the uncircumcised6189 triumph5937. 1:21 Ye mountains2022 of Gilboa1533, {let there be} no dew2919, neither {let there be} rain4306, upon you, nor fields7704 of offerings8641: for there the shield4043 of the mighty1368 is vilely cast away1602, the shield4043 of Saul7586, {as though he had} not {been} anointed4899 with oil8081. 1:22 From the blood1818 of the slain2491, from the fat2459 of the mighty1368, the bow7198 of Jonathan3083 turned7734 not back0268, and the sword2719 of Saul7586 returned7725 not empty7387. 1:23 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 {were} lovely0157 and pleasant5273 in their lives2416, and in their death4194 they were not divided6504: they were swifter7043 than eagles5404, they were stronger1396 than lions0738. 1:24 Ye daughters1323 of Israel3478, weep over1058 Saul7586, who clothed3847 you in scarlet8144, with {other} delights5730, who put5927 on ornaments5716 of gold2091 upon your apparel3830. 1:25 How are the mighty1368 fallen5307 in the midst8432 of the battle4421! O Jonathan3083, {thou wast} slain2491 in thine high places1116. 1:26 I am distressed6887 for thee, my brother0251 Jonathan3083: very3966 pleasant5276 hast thou been unto me: thy love0160 to me was wonderful6381, passing the love0160 of women0802. 1:27 How are the mighty1368 fallen5307, and the weapons3627 of war4421 perished0006!
