2 Samuel 1:6-21
6The youngH5288 manH5288 who toldH5046 him saidH559, “ByH7122 chanceH7122 I happenedH7136 toH7136 beH7136 on 1MountH2022 GilboaH1533, and beholdH2009, 2SaulH7586 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 3answeredH559 him, ‘4I am an AmalekiteH6003.’ 9And he saidH559 to me, ‘PleaseH4994 standH5975 nextH5921 to me and finishH4191 me offH4191, for 5agonyH7661 has seizedH270 me becauseH3588 my 6lifeH5315 stillH5750 lingers in me.’ 10So I stoodH5975 nextH5921 to him 7and finishedH4191 him offH4191, becauseH3588 I knewH3045 that he could not liveH2421 afterH310 he had fallenH5307. And 8I 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 9DavidH1732 tookH2388 holdH2388 of his clothesH899 and toreH7167 them, and so alsoH1571 did allH3605 the menH376 whoH834 were with him. 12And they mournedH5594 and weptH1058 and 10fastedH6684 untilH5704 eveningH6153 for SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083, and for the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, becauseH3588 they had fallenH5307 by the swordH2719. 13Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 manH5288 who informedH5046 him, “WhereH335 are you from?” And he 11answeredH559, “12I am the sonH1121 of a strangerH1616, an AmalekiteH6003.” 14And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “HowH349 is it you wereH3372 not afraidH3372 13to reachH7971 outH7971 with your handH3027 to destroyH7843 the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899?” 15Then DavidH1732 calledH7121 oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 and saidH559, “ComeH5066 forwardH5066, 14putH6293 him toH6293 deathH6293.” 15So he struckH5221 him and he diedH4191. 16And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “1617Your bloodH1818 is on your headH7218, becauseH3588 18your own mouthH6310 has testifiedH6030 against you, sayingH559, ‘I have finishedH4191 offH4191 the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.’”
17Then DavidH1732 19sangH6969 thisH2088 songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015 overH5921 SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083, 18and he toldH559 them to teachH3925 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 the mourning song of the bowH7198; beholdH2009, it is writtenH3789 in 20the BookH5612 of JasharH3477.19“21Your beautyH6643, IsraelH3478, is 22slaughteredH2491 on your highH1116 placesH1116! 23HowH349 the mightyH1368 have fallenH5307!2024TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, ProclaimH1319 it not in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831, OrH6435 25the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 will rejoiceH8055, The daughtersH1323 of 26the uncircumcisedH6189 will celebrateH5937.2127MountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, 28May there be noH408 dewH2919 norH408 rainH4306 on you, or fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641! For thereH8033 the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was defiledH1602, The shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, not 29anointedH4899 with oilH8081.
