And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto him, Howh4100 went the matterh1697? I pray thee, tellh5046h8685 me.

6

And the young manh5288 that toldh5046h8688 him saidh559h8799, As I happenedh7136h8738 by chanceh7122h8736 upon mounth2022 Gilboah1533, behold, Saulh7586 leanedh8172h8737 upon his spearh2595; and, lo, the chariotsh7393 and horsemenh1167h6571 followed hardh1692h8689 after him.

7

And when he lookedh6437h8799 behindh310 him, he sawh7200h8799 me, and calledh7121h8799 unto me. And I answeredh559h8799, Here am I. Here...: Heb. Behold me

He saidh559h8799 unto me again, Standh5975h8798, I pray thee, upon me, and slayh4191h8786 me: for anguishh7661 is comeh270h8804 upon me, because my lifeh5315 is yet whole in me. anguish...: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc

10

So I stoodh5975h8799 upon him, and slewh4191h8787 him, because I was sureh3045h8804 that he could not liveh2421h8799 afterh310 that he was fallenh5307h8800: and I tookh3947h8799 the crownh5145 that was upon his headh7218, and the braceleth685 that was on his armh2220, and have broughth935h8686 them hither unto my lordh113.

Then Davidh1732 took holdh2388h8686 on his clothesh899, and renth7167h8799 them; and likewise all the menh582 that were with him:

12

And they mournedh5594h8799, and wepth1058h8799, and fastedh6684h8799 until evenh6153, for Saulh7586, and for Jonathanh3083 his sonh1121, and for the peopleh5971 of the LORDh3068, and for the househ1004 of Israelh3478; because they were fallenh5307h8804 by the swordh2719.

13

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto the young manh5288 that toldh5046h8688 him, Whence art thou? And he answeredh559h8799, I am the sonh1121 of a strangerh376h1616, an Amalekiteh6003.

14

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto him, How wast thou not afraidh3372h8804 to stretch forthh7971h8800 thine handh3027 to destroyh7843h8763 the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899?

15

And Davidh1732 calledh7121h8799 oneh259 of the young menh5288, and saidh559h8799, Go nearh5066h8798, and fallh6293h8798 upon him. And he smoteh5221h8686 him that he diedh4191h8799.

16

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto him, Thy bloodh1818 be upon thy headh7218; for thy mouthh6310 hath testifiedh6030h8804 against thee, sayingh559h8800, I have slainh4191h8790 the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899.

17

And Davidh1732 lamentedh6969h8787 with this lamentationh7015 over Saulh7586 and over Jonathanh3083 his sonh1121:

18

(Also he badeh559h8799 them teachh3925h8763 the childrenh1121 of Judahh3063 the use of the bowh7198: behold, it is writtenh3789h8803 in the bookh5612 of Jasherh3477.) of Jasher: or, of the upright

19

The beautyh6643 of Israelh3478 is slainh2491 upon thy high placesh1116: how are the mightyh1368 fallenh5307h8804!

20

Tellh5046h8686 it not in Gathh1661, publishh1319h8762 it not in the streetsh2351 of Askelonh831; lest the daughtersh1323 of the Philistinesh6430 rejoiceh8055h8799, lest the daughtersh1323 of the uncircumcisedh6189 triumphh5937h8799.

21

Ye mountainsh2022 of Gilboah1533, let there be no dewh2919, neither let there be rainh4306, upon you, nor fieldsh7704 of offeringsh8641: for there the shieldh4043 of the mightyh1368 is vilely cast awayh1602h8738, the shieldh4043 of Saulh7586, as though he had not been anointedh4899 with oilh8081.

22

From the bloodh1818 of the slainh2491, from the fath2459 of the mightyh1368, the bowh7198 of Jonathanh3083 turnedh7734h8738 not backh268, and the swordh2719 of Saulh7586 returnedh7725h8799 not emptyh7387.

23

Saulh7586 and Jonathanh3083 were lovelyh157h8737 and pleasanth5273 in their livesh2416, and in their deathh4194 they were not dividedh6504h8738: they were swifterh7043h8804 than eaglesh5404, they were strongerh1396h8804 than lionsh738. pleasant: or, sweet

24

Ye daughtersh1323 of Israelh3478, weep overh1058h8798 Saulh7586, who clothedh3847h8688 you in scarleth8144, with other delightsh5730, who puth5927h8688 on ornamentsh5716 of goldh2091 upon your apparelh3830.

25

How are the mightyh1368 fallenh5307h8804 in the midsth8432 of the battleh4421! O Jonathanh3083, thou wast slainh2491 in thine high placesh1116.

26

I am distressedh6887h8804 for thee, my brotherh251 Jonathanh3083: veryh3966 pleasanth5276h8804 hast thou been unto me: thy loveh160 to me was wonderfulh6381h8738, passing the loveh160 of womenh802.

27

How are the mightyh1368 fallenh5307h8804, and the weaponsh3627 of warh4421 perishedh6h8799!
