II Samuel 1 (kjv)

Now it came to pass after^H310 the death^H4194 of Saul^H7586, when David^H1732 was returned^H7725 from the slaughter^H5221 of the Amalekites^H6002, and David^H1732 had abode^H3427 two^H8147 days^H3117 in Ziklag^H6860;²It came even to pass on the third^H7992 day^H3117, that, behold, a man^H376 came^H935 out of the camp^H4264 from Saul^H7586 with his clothes^H899 rent^H7167, and earth^H127 upon his head^H7218: and so it was, when he came^H935 to David^H1732, that he fell^H5307 to the earth^H776, and did obeisance^H7812.³And David^H1732 said^H559 unto him, From whence comest^H935 thou? And he said^H559 unto him, Out of the camp^H4264 of Israel^H3478 am I escaped^H4422.⁴And David^H1732 said^H559 unto him, How^H4100 went the matter^H1697? I pray thee, tell^H5046 me. And he answered^H559, That the people^H5971 are fled^H5127 from the battle^H4421, and many^H7235 of the people^H5971 also are fallen^H5307 and dead^H4191; and Saul^H7586 and Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121 are dead^H4191 also.⁵And David^H1732 said^H559 unto the young man^H5288 that told^H5046 him, How knowest^H3045 thou that Saul^H7586 and Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121 be dead^H4191?⁶And the young man^H5288 that told^H5046 him said^H559, As I happened^H7136 by chance^H7122 upon mount^H2022 Gilboa^H1533, behold, Saul^H7586 leaned^H8172 upon his spear^H2595; and, lo, the chariots^H7393 and horsemen^{H1167 H6571} followed hard^H1692 after him.⁷And when he looked^H6437 behind^H310 him, he saw^H7200 me, and called^H7121 unto me. And I answered^H559, Here am I.⁸And he said^H559 unto me, Who art thou? And I answered^H559 him, I am an Amalekite^H6003.⁹He said^H559 unto me again, Stand^H5975, I pray thee, upon me, and slay^H4191 me: for anguish^H7661 is come^H270 upon me, because my life^H5315 is yet whole in me.¹⁰So I stood^H5975 upon him, and slew^H4191 him, because I was sure^H3045 that he could not live^H2421 after^H310 that he was fallen^H5307: and I took^H3947 the crown^H5145 that was upon his head^H7218, and the bracelet^H685 that was on his arm^H2220, and have brought^H935 them hither unto my lord^H113.¹¹Then David^H1732 took hold^H2388 on his clothes^H899, and rent^H7167 them; and likewise all the men^H582 that were with him:¹²And they mourned^H5594, and wept^H1058, and fasted^H6684 until even^H6153, for Saul^H7586, and for Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121, and for the people^H5971 of the LORD^H3068, and for the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478; because they were fallen^H5307 by the sword^H2719.¹³And David^H1732 said^H559 unto the young man^H5288 that told^H5046 him, Whence art thou? And he answered^H559, I am the son^H1121 of a stranger^{H376 H1616}, an Amalekite^H6003.¹⁴And David^H1732 said^H559 unto him, How wast thou not afraid^H3372 to stretch forth^H7971 thine hand^H3027 to destroy^H7843 the LORD'S^H3068 anointed^H4899?¹⁵And David^H1732 called^H7121 one^H259 of the young men^H5288, and said^H559, Go near^H5066, and fall^H6293 upon him. And he smote^H5221 him that he died^H4191.¹⁶And David^H1732 said^H559 unto him, Thy blood^H1818 be upon thy head^H7218; for thy mouth^H6310 hath testified^H6030 against thee, saying^H559, I have slain^H4191 the LORD'S^H3068 anointed^H4899.

¹⁷And David^H1732 lamented^H6969 with this lamentation^H7015 over Saul^H7586 and over Jonathan^H3083 his son^H1121:¹⁸(Also he bade^H559 them teach^H3925 the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 the use of the bow^H7198: behold, it is written^H3789 in the book^H5612 of Jasher^H3477.)¹⁹The beauty^H6643 of Israel^H3478 is slain^H2491 upon thy high places^H1116: how are the mighty^H1368 fallen^H5307 !²⁰Tell^H5046 it not in Gath^H1661, publish^H1319 it not in the streets^H2351 of Askelon^H831; lest the daughters^H1323 of the Philistines^H6430 rejoice^H8055, lest the daughters^H1323 of the uncircumcised^H6189 triumph^H5937.²¹Ye mountains^H2022 of Gilboa^H1533, let there be no dew^H2919, neither let there be rain^H4306, upon you, nor fields^H7704 of offerings^H8641: for there the shield^H4043 of the mighty^H1368 is vilely cast away^H1602, the shield^H4043 of Saul^H7586, as though he had not been anointed^H4899 with oil^H8081.²²From the blood^H1818 of the slain^H2491, from the fat^H2459 of the mighty^H1368, the bow^H7198 of Jonathan^H3083 turned^H7734 not back^H268, and the sword^H2719 of Saul^H7586 returned^H7725 not empty^H7387.²³Saul^H7586 and Jonathan^H3083 were lovely^H157 and pleasant^H5273 in their lives^H2416, and in their death^H4194 they were not divided^H6504: they were swifter^H7043 than eagles^H5404, they were stronger^H1396 than lions^H738.²⁴Ye daughters^H1323 of Israel^H3478, weep over^H1058 Saul^H7586, who clothed^H3847 you in scarlet^H8144, with other delights^H5730, who put^H5927 on ornaments^H5716 of gold^H2091 upon your apparel^H3830.²⁵How are the mighty^H1368 fallen^H5307 in the midst^H8432 of the battle^H4421! O Jonathan^H3083, thou wast slain^H2491 in thine high places^H1116.²⁶I am distressed^H6887 for thee, my brother^H251 Jonathan^H3083: very^H3966 pleasant^H5276 hast thou been unto me: thy love^H160 to me was wonderful^H6381, passing the love^H160 of women^H802.²⁷How are the mighty^H1368 fallen^H5307, and the weapons^H3627 of war^H4421 perished^H6 !
