2 Samuel 1:1-6

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.
