2 Samuel 1:6-21
6And the youngH5288 manH5288 that toldH5046 him saidH559, I happenedH7122 by chance to be upon mount GilboaH1533, and behold, SaulH7586 leanedH8172 on his spearH2595; and behold, the chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 followed hard after him.
7And he lookedH7200 behind him, and sawH7200 me, and calledH7121 to me. And I saidH559, HereH2005 am I.
8And he saidH559 to me, Who art thou? And I saidH559 to him, I am an AmalekiteH6003.
9He saidH559 to me againH5750, StandH5975, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seizedH270 me; for my lifeH5315 is yetH5750 whole in me.
10So I stoodH5975 over him, and putH4191 him to deathH4191, for I knewH3045 that he would not liveH2421 after his fallH5307; and I tookH3947 the crownH5145 that was upon his headH7218, and the bracelet that was on his armH2220, and have broughtH935 them hither to my lordH113.
11Then DavidH1732 tookH2388 holdH2388 of his garmentsH899 and rent them; and all the menH376 that were with him [did] likewise.
12And they mournedH5594, and weptH1058, and fastedH6684 until even for SaulH7586, and for JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, and for the peopleH5971 of Jehovah, and for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; because they were fallenH5307 by the swordH2719.
13And DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH376 that toldH5046 him, Whence art thou? And he saidH559, I am the sonH1121 of an AmalekiteH6003 stranger.
14And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, HowH349 wast thou not afraidH3372 to stretchH7971 forthH7971 thy handH3027 to destroyH7843 Jehovah's anointedH4899?
15Then DavidH1732 calledH7121 oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 and saidH559, DrawH5066 near, [and] fallH6293 on him. And he smote him that he diedH4191.
16And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Thy bloodH1818 be upon thy headH7218; for thy mouthH6310 has testified against thee, sayingH559, I have slain Jehovah's anointedH4899.
17And DavidH1732 lamented with this lamentationH7015 over SaulH7586 and over JonathanH3083 his sonH1121;
18and he bade them teachH3925 the children of JudahH3063 [the song of] the bowH7198. Behold, it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of Jasher: —
19The beauty of IsraelH3478 is slainH2491 upon thy highH1116 placesH1116: howH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307!
20TellH5046 [it] not in GathH1661, carry not the tidings in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831; LestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, LestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumph.
21Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, let there be no dewH2919, no rainH4306 upon you, nor fieldsH7704 of heave-offerings! For there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was vilely cast away, The shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, [as] not anointedH4899 with oilH8081.
