Now it came to pass afterH310 the deathH4194 of SaulH7586, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the AmalekitesH6002, and DavidH1732 had abodeH3427 twoH8147 daysH3117 in ZiklagH6860;
It came even to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that, behold, a manH376 cameH935 out of the campH4264 from SaulH7586 with his clothesH899 rentH7167, and earthH127 upon his headH7218: and so it was, when he cameH935 to DavidH1732, that he fellH5307 to the earthH776, and did obeisanceH7812.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, From whence comestH935 thou? And he saidH559 unto him, Out of the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 am I escapedH4422.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, HowH4100 went the matterH1697? I pray thee, tellH5046 me. And he answeredH559, That the peopleH5971 are fledH5127 from the battleH4421, and manyH7235 of the peopleH5971 also are fallenH5307 and deadH4191; and SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 are deadH4191 also. {How…: Heb. What was, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young manH5288 that toldH5046 him, How knowestH3045 thou that SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 be deadH4191?
And the young manH5288 that toldH5046 him saidH559, As I happenedH7136 by chanceH7122 upon mountH2022 GilboaH1533, behold, SaulH7586 leanedH8172 upon his spearH2595; and, lo, the chariotsH7393 and horsemenH1167+H6571 followed hardH1692 after him.
And when he lookedH6437 behindH310 him, he sawH7200 me, and calledH7121 unto me. And I answeredH559, Here am I. {Here…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559 unto me, Who art thou? And I answeredH559 him, I am an AmalekiteH6003.
He saidH559 unto me again, StandH5975, I pray thee, upon me, and slayH4191 me: for anguishH7661 is comeH270 upon me, because my lifeH5315 is yet whole in me. {anguish…: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc}
So I stoodH5975 upon him, and slewH4191 him, because I was sureH3045 that he could not liveH2421 afterH310 that he was fallenH5307: and I tookH3947 the crownH5145 that was upon his headH7218, and the braceletH685 that was on his armH2220, and have broughtH935 them hither unto my lordH113.
Then DavidH1732 took holdH2388 on his clothesH899, and rentH7167 them; and likewise all the menH582 that were with him:
And they mournedH5594, and weptH1058, and fastedH6684 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 by the swordH2719.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young manH5288 that toldH5046 him, Whence art thou? And he answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of a strangerH376+H1616, an AmalekiteH6003.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, How wast thou not afraidH3372 to stretch forthH7971 thine handH3027 to destroyH7843 the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899?
And DavidH1732 calledH7121 oneH259 of the young menH5288, and saidH559, Go nearH5066, and fallH6293 upon him. And he smoteH5221 him that he diedH4191.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, Thy bloodH1818 be upon thy headH7218; for thy mouthH6310 hath testifiedH6030 against thee, sayingH559, I have slainH4191 the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899.
And DavidH1732 lamentedH6969 with this lamentationH7015 over SaulH7586 and over JonathanH3083 his sonH1121:
(Also he badeH559 them teachH3925 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 the use of the bowH7198: behold, it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477.) {of Jasher: or, of the upright}
The beautyH6643 of IsraelH3478 is slainH2491 upon thy high placesH1116: how are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307!
TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, publishH1319 it not in the streetsH2351 of AskelonH831; lest the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, lest the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumphH5937.
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, the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, as though he had not been anointedH4899 with oilH8081.
From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7734 not backH268, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 not emptyH7387.
SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovelyH157 and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were not dividedH6504: they were swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 than lionsH738. {pleasant: or, sweet}
Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weep overH1058 SaulH7586, who clothedH3847 you in scarletH8144, with other delightsH5730, who putH5927 on ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 upon your apparelH3830.
How are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307 in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! O JonathanH3083, thou wast slainH2491 in thine high placesH1116.
I am distressedH6887 for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276 hast thou been unto me: thy loveH160 to me was wonderfulH6381, passing the loveH160 of womenH802.
How are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307, and the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 perishedH6!

And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the young manH5288 that bareH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 unto the garrisonH4673 of these uncircumcisedH6189: it may be that the LORDH3068 will workH6213 for us: for there is no restraintH4622 to the LORDH3068 to saveH3467 by manyH7227 or by fewH4592.
And his armourbearerH5375+H3627 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824: turnH5186 thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heartH3824.
Then saidH559 JonathanH3083, Behold, we will pass overH5674 unto these menH582, and we will discoverH1540 ourselves unto them.
If they sayH559 thus unto us, TarryH1826 until we comeH5060 to you; then we will stand stillH5975 in our place, and will not go upH5927 unto them. {Tarry: Heb. Be still}
But if they sayH559 thus, Come upH5927 unto us; then we will go upH5927: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into our handH3027: and this shall be a signH226 unto us.
And bothH8147 of them discoveredH1540 themselves unto the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Behold, the HebrewsH5680 come forthH3318 out of the holesH2356 where they had hidH2244 themselves.
And the menH582 of the garrisonH4675 answeredH6030 JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375+H3627, and saidH559, Come upH5927 to us, and we will shewH3045 you a thingH1697. And JonathanH3129 saidH559 unto his armourbearerH5375+H3627, Come upH5927 afterH310 me: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478.
And JonathanH3129 climbed upH5927 upon his handsH3027 and upon his feetH7272, and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 afterH310 him: and they fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3129; and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 slewH4191 afterH310 him.
And that firstH7223 slaughterH4347, which JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 madeH5221, was about twentyH6242 menH376, within as it were an halfH2677 acreH4618 of landH7704, which a yokeH6776 of oxen might plow. {an…: or, half a furrow of an acre of land}
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
