2 Samuel 1:1 Now it came to pass after310 the death4194 of Saul,7586 when David1732 was returned7725 from the slaughter5221 of the Amalekites,6002 and David1732 had abode3427 two8147 days3117 in Ziklag;6860 cr 2 It came even to pass on the third7992 day,3117 that, behold, a man376 came935 out of the camp4264 from Saul7586 with his clothes899 rent,7167 and earth127 upon his head:7218 and so it was, when he came935 to David,1732 that he fell5307 to the earth,776 and did obeisance.7812 cr 3 And David1732 said559 unto him, From whence comest935 thou? And he said559 unto him, Out of the camp4264 of Israel3478 am I escaped.4422 cr 4 And David1732 said559 unto him, How4100 went{Heb. What was, etc.} the matter?1697 I pray thee, tell5046 me. And he answered,559 That the people5971 are fled5127 from the battle,4421 and many7235 of the people5971 also are fallen5307 and dead;4191 and Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 are dead4191 also. cr 5 And David1732 said559 unto the young man5288 that told5046 him, How knowest3045 thou that Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 his son1121 be dead?4191 cr 6 And the young man5288 that told5046 him said,559 As I happened7136 by chance7122 upon mount2022 Gilboa,1533 behold, Saul7586 leaned8172 upon his spear;2595 and, lo, the chariots7393 and horsemen1167 6571 followed hard1692 after him. cr 7 And when he looked6437 behind310 him, he saw7200 me, and called7121 unto me. And I answered,559 Here am I.{Heb. Behold me} cr 8 And he said559 unto me, Who art thou? And I answered559 him, I am an Amalekite.6003 cr 9 He said559 unto me again, Stand,5975 I pray thee, upon me, and slay4191 me: for anguish7661 is come270 upon me,{Or, my coat of male (Or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc.} because my life5315 is yet whole in me. cr 10 So I stood5975 upon him, and slew4191 him, because I was sure3045 that he could not live2421 after310 that he was fallen:5307 and I took3947 the crown5145 that was upon his head,7218 and the bracelet685 that was on his arm,2220 and have brought935 them hither unto my lord.113 cr 11 Then David1732 took hold2388 on his clothes,899 and rent7167 them; and likewise all the men582 that were with him: cr 12 And they mourned,5594 and wept,1058 and fasted6684 until even,6153 for Saul,7586 and for Jonathan3083 his son,1121 and for the people5971 of the LORD,3068 and for the house1004 of Israel;3478 because they were fallen5307 by the sword.2719 cr

2 Samuel 1:13 And David1732 said559 unto the young man5288 that told5046 him, Whence art thou? And he answered,559 I am the son1121 of a stranger,376 1616 an Amalekite.6003 cr 14 And David1732 said559 unto him, How wast thou not afraid3372 to stretch forth7971 thine hand3027 to destroy7843 the LORD'S3068 anointed?4899 cr 15 And David1732 called7121 one259 of the young men,5288 and said,559 Go near,5066 and fall6293 upon him. And he smote5221 him that he died.4191 cr 16 And David1732 said559 unto him, Thy blood1818 be upon thy head;7218 for thy mouth6310 hath testified6030 against thee, saying,559 I have slain4191 the LORD'S3068 anointed.4899 cr

2 Samuel 1:17 And David1732 lamented6969 with this lamentation7015 over Saul7586 and over Jonathan3083 his son:1121 cr 18 (Also he bade559 them teach3925 the children1121 of Judah3063 the use of the bow:7198 behold, it is written3789 in the book5612 of Jasher.)3477{Or, of the upright} cr 19 The beauty6643 of Israel3478 is slain2491 upon thy high places:1116 how are the mighty1368 fallen!5307 cr 20 Tell5046 it not in Gath,1661 publish1319 it not in the streets2351 of Askelon;831 lest the daughters1323 of the Philistines6430 rejoice,8055 lest the daughters1323 of the uncircumcised6189 triumph.5937 cr 21 Ye mountains2022 of Gilboa,1533 let there be no dew,2919 neither let there be rain,4306 upon you, nor fields7704 of offerings:8641 for there the shield4043 of the mighty1368 is vilely cast away,1602 the shield4043 of Saul,7586 as though he had not been anointed4899 with oil.8081 cr 22 From the blood1818 of the slain,2491 from the fat2459 of the mighty,1368 the bow7198 of Jonathan3083 turned7734 not back,268 and the sword2719 of Saul7586 returned7725 not empty.7387 cr 23 Saul7586 and Jonathan3083 were lovely157 and pleasant5273{Or, sweet} in their lives,2416 and in their death4194 they were not divided:6504 they were swifter7043 than eagles,5404 they were stronger1396 than lions.738 cr 24 Ye daughters1323 of Israel,3478 weep over1058 Saul,7586 who clothed3847 you in scarlet,8144 with other delights,5730 who put5927 on ornaments5716 of gold2091 upon your apparel.3830 cr 25 How are the mighty1368 fallen5307 in the midst8432 of the battle!4421 O Jonathan,3083 thou wast slain2491 in thine high places.1116 cr 26 I am distressed6887 for thee, my brother251 Jonathan:3083 very3966 pleasant5276 hast thou been unto me: thy love160 to me was wonderful,6381 passing the love160 of women.802 cr 27 How are the mighty1368 fallen,5307 and the weapons3627 of war4421 perished!6 cr
