Revised Version 1895
2 Samuel 1:2-11
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:
