| [1]Now it came to pass afterH310 the deathH4194 of SaulH7586, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725[H8804] from the slaughterH5221[H8687] of the AmalekitesH6002, and DavidH1732 had abodeH3427[H8799] twoH8147 daysH3117 in ZiklagH6860; |
[1]After the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had been two days in Ziklag, |
| [2]It came even to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that, behold, a manH376 cameH935[H8802] out of the campH4264 from SaulH7586 with his clothesH899 rentH7167[H8803], and earthH127 upon his headH7218: and so it was, when he cameH935[H8800] to DavidH1732, that he fellH5307[H8799] to the earthH776, and did obeisanceH7812.[H8691] |
[2]Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and when he came to David, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. |
| [3]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, From whence comestH935[H8799] thou? And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, Out of the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 am I escapedH4422.[H8738] |
[3]Then David said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped. |
| [4]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, HowH4100 went the matterH1697? I pray thee, tellH5046[H8685] me. And he answeredH559[H8799], That the peopleH5971 are fledH5127[H8804] from the battleH4421, and manyH7235[H8687] of the peopleH5971 also are fallenH5307[H8804] and deadH4191[H8799]; and SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 are deadH4191 alsoH8804. |
[4]And David said unto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battle, and many of the people are overthrown, and dead, and also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead. |
| [5]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto the young manH5288 that toldH5046[H8688] him, How knowestH3045[H8804] thou that SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 be deadH4191?[H8804] |
[5]And David said unto the young man, that told it him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? |
| [6]And the young manH5288 that toldH5046[H8688] him saidH559[H8799], As I happenedH7136[H8738] by chanceH7122[H8736] upon mountH2022 GilboaH1533, behold, SaulH7586 leanedH8172[H8737] upon his spearH2595; and, lo, the chariotsH7393 and horsemenH1167[H6571] followed hardH1692 after himH8689. |
[6]Then the young man that told him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear, and lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. |
| [7]And when he lookedH6437[H8799] behindH310 him, he sawH7200[H8799] me, and calledH7121[H8799] unto me. And I answeredH559, Here am IH8799. |
[7]And when he looked back, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I. |
| [8]And he saidH559[H8799] unto me, Who art thou? And I answeredH559[H8799] him, I am an AmalekiteH6003. |
[8]And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. |
| [9]He saidH559[H8799] unto me again, StandH5975[H8798], I pray thee, upon me, and slayH4191[H8786] me: for anguishH7661 is comeH270[H8804] upon me, because my life is yet whole in meH5315. |
[9]Then said he unto me, I pray thee, come upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. |
| [10]So I stoodH5975[H8799] upon him, and slewH4191[H8787] him, because I was sureH3045[H8804] that he could not liveH2421[H8799] afterH310 that he was fallenH5307[H8800]: and I tookH3947[H8799] the crownH5145 that was upon his headH7218, and the braceletH685 that was on his armH2220, and have broughtH935[H8686] them hither unto my lordH113. |
[10]So I came upon him, and slew him, and because I was sure that he could not live, after that he had fallen, I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and brought them hither unto my lord. |
| [11]Then DavidH1732 took holdH2388[H8686] on his clothesH899, and rentH7167[H8799] them; and likewise all the men that were with himH582: |
[11]Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him. |
| [12]And they mournedH5594[H8799], and weptH1058[H8799], and fastedH6684[H8799] until evenH6153, for SaulH7586, and for JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, and for the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; because they were fallenH5307[H8804] by the swordH2719. |
[12]And they mourned and wept, and fasted until even for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slain with the sword. |
| [13]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto the young manH5288 that toldH5046[H8688] him, Whence art thou? And he answeredH559[H8799], I am the sonH1121 of a strangerH376[H1616], an AmalekiteH6003. |
[13]Afterward David said unto the young man that told it him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger an Amalekite. |
| [14]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, How wast thou not afraidH3372[H8804] to stretch forthH7971[H8800] thine handH3027 to destroyH7843[H8763] the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899? |
[14]And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid, to put forth thine hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord? |
| [15]And DavidH1732 calledH7121[H8799] oneH259 of the young menH5288, and saidH559[H8799], Go nearH5066[H8798], and fallH6293[H8798] upon him. And he smoteH5221[H8686] him that he diedH4191.[H8799] |
[15]Then David called one of his young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. |
| [16]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thy bloodH1818 be upon thy headH7218; for thy mouthH6310 hath testifiedH6030[H8804] against thee, sayingH559[H8800], I have slainH4191[H8790] the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899. |
[16]Then said David unto him, Thy blood be upon thine own head: for thine own mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord's anointed. |
| [17]And DavidH1732 lamentedH6969[H8787] with this lamentationH7015 over SaulH7586 and over JonathanH3083 his sonH1121: |
[17]Then David mourned with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son, |
| [18]H559( Also he badeH8799 them teachH3925[H8763] the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 the use of the bowH7198: behold, it is writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477.) |
[18](Also he bade them teach the children of Judah to shoot, as it is written in the book of Jasher) |
| [19]The beautyH6643 of IsraelH3478 is slainH2491 upon thy high placesH1116: how are the mightyH1368 H5307fallenH8804 |
[19]O noble Israel, he is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty overthrown! |
| [20]TellH5046[H8686] it not in GathH1661, publishH1319[H8762] it not in the streetsH2351 of AskelonH831; lest the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055[H8799], lest the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumphH5937.[H8799] |
[20]Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. |
| [21]Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, let there be no dewH2919, neither let there be rainH4306, upon you, nor fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641: for there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 is vilely cast awayH1602[H8738], the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, as though he had not been anointedH4899 with oilH8081. |
[21]Ye mountains of Gilboa, upon you be neither dew nor rain, nor be there fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is cast down, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. |
| [22]From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7734[H8738] not backH268, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725[H8799] not emptyH7387. |
[22]The bow of Jonathan never turned back, neither did the sword of Saul return empty from the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty. |
| [23]SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovelyH157[H8737] and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were not dividedH6504[H8738]: they were swifterH7043[H8804] than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396[H8804] than lionsH738. |
[23]Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their deaths they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. |
| [24]Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weep overH1058[H8798] SaulH7586, who clothedH3847[H8688] you in scarletH8144, with other delightsH5730, who putH5927[H8688] on ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 upon your apparelH3830. |
[24]Ye daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, which clothed you in scarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold upon your apparel. |
| [25]How are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307[H8804] in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! O JonathanH3083, thou wast slainH2491 in thine high placesH1116. |
[25]How were the mighty slain in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. |
| [26]I am distressedH6887[H8804] for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276[H8804] hast thou been unto me: thy loveH160 to me was wonderfulH6381[H8738], passing the loveH160 of womenH802. |
[26]Woe is me for thee, my brother Jonathan: very kind hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women: |
| [27]How are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307[H8804], and the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 H6perishedH8799 |
[27]How are the mighty overthrown, and the weapons of war destroyed! |
