2 Samuel Chapter 1

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 the deathH4191 of SaulH7586, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the AmalekitesH6002, and DavidH1732 had abodeH3427 twoH8147 daysH3117 in ZiklagH6860; 2it cameH935 evenH776 to passH935 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that, beholdH2009, a manH376 cameH935 outH4480 of the campH4264 from SaulH7586 with his clothesH899 rent, and earthH776 uponH5921 his headH7218: and soH4480 it was, when he cameH935 to DavidH1732, that he fellH5307 to the earthH776, and didH376 obeisance. 3And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, From whence comest thou? And he saidH559 unto him, OutH413 of the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 am I escapedH4422. 4And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, HowH4100 wentH413 the matterH1697? I prayH4994 thee, tellH5046 meH413. And he answeredH559, The peopleH5971 are fledH5127 from the battleH4421, and manyH7235 of the peopleH5971 also are fallenH5307 and deadH4191; and SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 are deadH4191 also. 5And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the youngH5288 manH5288 that toldH5046 him, HowH349 knowest thou that SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 be deadH4191? 6And the youngH5288 manH5288 that toldH5046 him saidH559, As I happenedH7122 by chanceH7122 uponH5921 mountH2022 GilboaH1533, beholdH2009, SaulH7586 leanedH8172 uponH5921 his spearH2595; and, loH2009, the chariotsH7393 and the horsemenH6571 followed hard afterH5921 him. 7And when he lookedH7200 behindH310 him, he sawH7200 meH413, and calledH7121 unto meH413. And I answeredH559, HereH2005 am I. 8And he saidH559 unto meH413, Who art thou? And I answeredH559 him, I am an AmalekiteH6003. 9And he saidH559 unto meH413, StandH5975, I prayH4994 thee, besideH5921 meH413, and slayH4191 meH413, for anguish hath takenH270 holdH270 of meH413; becauseH3588 my lifeH5315 is yet wholeH3605 in meH413. 10SoH3947 I stoodH5975 besideH5921 him, and slew him, becauseH3588 I was sureH3045 that he could notH3808 liveH2421 afterH310 that he was fallenH5307: and I tookH3947 the crownH5145 that was uponH5921 his headH7218, and the braceletH685 that was on his armH2220, and have broughtH935 them hither unto my lordH113. 11Then DavidH1732 tookH2388 holdH2388 on his clothesH899, and rent them; and likewise allH3605 the menH376 that were with him: 12and they mournedH5594, and weptH1058, and fastedH6684 untilH5704 evenH5704, for SaulH7586, and for JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, and for the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; becauseH3588 they were fallenH5307 by the swordH2719. 13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the youngH5288 manH376 that toldH5046 him, Whence art thou? And he answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of a strangerH1616, an AmalekiteH6003. 14And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, HowH349 wast thou notH3808 afraidH3372 to putH7971 forthH7971 thine handH3027 to destroyH7843 the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899? 15And DavidH1732 calledH7121 one of the youngH5288 menH5288, and saidH559, GoH5066 nearH5066, and fallH6293 uponH7121 him. And he smoteH5221 him that he diedH4191. 16And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, Thy bloodH1818 be uponH5921 thy headH7218; for thy mouthH6310 hath testified againstH5921 thee, sayingH559, I have slain the LORD’SH3068 anointedH4899. 17And DavidH1732 lamented with this lamentationH7015 over SaulH7586 and over JonathanH3083 his sonH1121: 18And he bade them teachH3925 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 the song of the bowH7198: beholdH2009, it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasharH3477. 19Thy glory, O IsraelH3478, is slainH2491 uponH5921 thy highH1116 placesH1116! howH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307! 20TellH5046 it notH408 in GathH1661, publish it notH408 in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831; lestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, lestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumph. 21Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, letH408 there be noH408 dewH2919 norH408 rainH4306 uponH5921 youH3588, neitherH408 fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641: for there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was vilely cast away, the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, notH408 anointedH4899 with oilH8081. 22From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7725 notH3808 backH7725, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 notH3808 emptyH7387. 23SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovely and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were notH3808 dividedH6504; they were swifterH7043 thanH3808 eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 thanH3808 lionsH738. 24Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weepH1058 over SaulH7586, who clothedH3847 youH5921 in scarletH8144 delicately, who putH3847 ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 uponH5921 your apparelH3830. 25HowH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307 in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! JonathanH3083 is slainH2491 uponH5921 thy highH1116 placesH1116. 26I am distressed for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276 hast thou been unto meH5921: thy loveH160 to meH5921 was wonderfulH6381, passing the loveH160 of womenH802. 27HowH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307, and the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 perishedH6!
