2 Samuel 1:2-11

2And on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, beholdH2009, 1a manH376 cameH935 from 2Saul’sH7586 campH4264 3with his clothesH899 tornH7167 and 4dustH127 on his headH7218. And it happenedH1961 when he cameH935 to DavidH1732, 5he fellH5307 to the groundH776 and prostratedH2331 himself. 3Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “From whereH335 do you comeH935?” And he saidH559 to him, “I have escapedH4422 from the campH4264 of IsraelH3478.” 4DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “6HowH4100 did thingsH1697 goH1961? PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me.” And he saidH559, “The peopleH5971 have fledH5127 from the battleH4421, and manyH7235 of the peopleH5971 alsoH1571 have fallenH5307 and are deadH4191; and SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 are alsoH1571 deadH4191.” 5Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who toldH5046 him, “HowH349 do you knowH3045 that SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 are deadH4191?” 6The youngH5288 manH5288 who toldH5046 him saidH559, “ByH7122 chanceH7122 I happenedH7136 toH7136 beH7136 on 7MountH2022 GilboaH1533, and beholdH2009, 8SaulH7586 was leaningH8172 on his spearH2595. And beholdH2009, the chariotsH7393 and the horsemenH6571 had overtakenH1692 him. 7When he lookedH6437 behindH310 himself, he sawH7200 me, and calledH7121 to me. And I saidH559, ‘HereH2009 I am.’ 8Then he saidH559 to me, ‘WhoH4310 are you?’ And I 9answeredH559 him, ‘10I am an AmalekiteH6003.’ 9And he saidH559 to me, ‘PleaseH4994 standH5975 nextH5921 to me and finishH4191 me offH4191, for 11agonyH7661 has seizedH270 me becauseH3588 my 12lifeH5315 stillH5750 lingers in me.’ 10So I stoodH5975 nextH5921 to him 13and finishedH4191 him offH4191, becauseH3588 I knewH3045 that he could not liveH2421 afterH310 he had fallenH5307. And 14I tookH3947 the crownH5145 whichH834 was on his headH7218 and the bandH685 whichH834 was on his armH2220, and I have broughtH935 them hereH2008 to my lordH113.”

11Then 15DavidH1732 tookH2388 holdH2388 of his clothesH899 and toreH7167 them, and so alsoH1571 did allH3605 the menH376 whoH834 were with him.
