He said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. 1:4 David said to him, How went the matter? Please tell me. He answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. 1:5 David said to the young man who told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? 1:6 The young man who told him said, As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him. 1:7 When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, Here am I. 1:8 He said to me, Who are you? I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 1:9 He said to me, Stand, I pray you, beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me. 1:10 So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord. 1:11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him: 1:12 and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. 1:13 David said to the young man who told him, Whence are you? He answered, I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite. 1:14 David said to him, How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy Yahweh's anointed? 1:15 David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall on him. He struck him, so that he died. 1:16 David said to him, Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain Yahweh's anointed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son 1:18 (and he bade them teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19 Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places!\u003cbr\u003eHow the mighty have fallen!\u003cbr\u003e1:20 Don't tell it in Gath.\u003cbr\u003eDon't publish it in the streets of Ashkelon,\u003cbr\u003elest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,\u003cbr\u003elest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.\u003cbr\u003e1:21 You mountains of Gilboa,\u003cbr\u003elet there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings;\u003cbr\u003eFor there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away,\u003cbr\u003eThe shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.\u003cbr\u003e1:22 From the blood of the slain,\u003cbr\u003efrom the fat of the mighty,\u003cbr\u003eJonathan's bow didn't turn back.\u003cbr\u003eSaul's sword didn't return empty.\u003cbr\u003e1:23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives.\u003cbr\u003eIn their death, they were not divided.\u003cbr\u003eThey were swifter than eagles.\u003cbr\u003eThey were stronger than lions.\u003cbr\u003e1:24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,\u003cbr\u003ewho clothed you in scarlet delicately,\u003cbr\u003ewho put ornaments of gold on your clothing.\u003cbr\u003e1:25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!\u003cbr\u003eJonathan is slain on your high places.\u003cbr\u003e1:26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan.\u003cbr\u003eYou have been very pleasant to me.\u003cbr\u003eYour love to me was wonderful,\u003cbr\u003epassing the love of women.\u003cbr\u003e1:27 How are the mighty fallen,\u003cbr\u003eand the weapons of war perished!","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067902214384,"sku":"2940148931966","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148931966_p0.jpg?v=1763710197","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148931966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
