2 Samuel 1:1
|
|
And it came to pass after the death of Saul,
when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode
two days in Ziklag; |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:2 |
|
it came to pass on the third day, that, behold,
a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his
head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did
obeisance. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:3 |
|
And David said unto him, From whence comest
thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:4 |
|
And David said unto him, How went the matter?
I pray thee, tell me. And 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:5 |
|
And David said unto the young man that told
him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:6 |
|
And the young man that told him said, As I happened
by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, lo,
the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:7 |
|
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and
called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:8 |
|
And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered
him, I am an Amalekite. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:9 |
|
And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside
me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole
in me. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:10 |
|
So I stood beside him, and slew him, because
I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown
that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought
them hither unto my lord. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:11 |
|
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent
them; and likewise all the men that were with him: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:12 |
|
and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until
even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for
the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:13 |
|
And David said unto the young man that told
him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:14 |
|
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid
to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed? |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:15 |
|
And David called one of the young men, and said,
Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:16 |
|
And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy
head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's
anointed. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:17 |
|
And David lamented with this lamentation over
Saul and over Jonathan his son: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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): |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:19 |
|
Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high
places! How are the mighty fallen! |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:20 |
|
Tell it not in Gath, Publish it not in the streets
of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters
of the uncircumcised triumph. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:21 |
|
Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew
nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty
was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:22 |
|
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of
the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned
not empty. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:23 |
|
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in
their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than
eagles, They were stronger than lions. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:24 |
|
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who
clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:25 |
|
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the
battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:26 |
|
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan:
Very pleasant hast thou been unto me: Thy love to me was wonderful, Passing the
love of women. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 1:27 |
|
How are the mighty fallen, And the weapons of
war perished! |
