{"product_id":"2940148923107","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 10: 2 Kings","description":"THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Book relates the transactions from the death of Saul until the end\u003cbr\u003eof David's reign, being a history for the space of about forty-six\u003cbr\u003eyears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Kings Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid mourneth for the death of Saul and Jonathan: he ordereth the man\u003cbr\u003eto be slain who pretended he had killed Saul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from\u003cbr\u003ethe slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's\u003cbr\u003ecamp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he\u003cbr\u003ecame to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him:\u003cbr\u003eI am fled out of the camp of Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass?\u003cbr\u003etell me: He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the\u003cbr\u003epeople are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are\u003cbr\u003eslain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou\u003cbr\u003ethat Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount\u003cbr\u003eGelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen\u003cbr\u003edrew nigh unto him,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I\u003cbr\u003eanswered, Here am I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an\u003cbr\u003eAmalecite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come\u003cbr\u003eupon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not\u003cbr\u003elive after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the\u003cbr\u003ebracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to thee, my\u003cbr\u003elord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI killed him... This story of the young Amalecite was not true, as may\u003cbr\u003eeasily be proved by comparing it with the last chapter of the foregoing\u003cbr\u003ebook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise\u003cbr\u003eall the men that were with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and\u003cbr\u003efor Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house\u003cbr\u003eof Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He\u003cbr\u003eanswered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to\u003cbr\u003ekill the Lord's anointed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon\u003cbr\u003ehim. And he struck him so that he died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own\u003cbr\u003emouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord's\u003cbr\u003eanointed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17. And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over\u003cbr\u003eJonathan his son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:18. (Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the\u003cbr\u003euse of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said:\u003cbr\u003eConsider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19. The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are\u003cbr\u003ethe valiant fallen?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:20. Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon:\u003cbr\u003elest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the\u003cbr\u003euncircumcised triumph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:21. Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you,\u003cbr\u003eneither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the\u003cbr\u003eshield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been\u003cbr\u003eanointed with oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:22. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the\u003cbr\u003earrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not\u003cbr\u003ereturn empty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:23. Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death\u003cbr\u003ethey were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than\u003cbr\u003elions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:24. Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with\u003cbr\u003escarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:25. How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high\u003cbr\u003eplaces?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:26. I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and\u003cbr\u003eamiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only\u003cbr\u003eson, so did I love thee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:27. How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111678198000,"sku":"2940148923107","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148923107_p0.jpg?v=1763709757","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148923107","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
