1 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS after H310 ADV the death H4194 of Saul H7586 , when David H1732 was returned H7725 VQQ3MS from the slaughter H5221 of the Amalekites H6002 , and David H1732 MMS had abode H3427 W-VQY3MS two H8147 days H3117 NMP in Ziklag H6860 ;
2 It came even to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS on the third H7992 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS , that , behold H2009 IJEC , a man H376 NMS came H935 VQPMS out of H4480 PREP the camp H4264 from M-PREP Saul H7586 with his clothes H899 rent H7167 , and earth H127 upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMS-3MS : and so it was H1961 W-VQY3MS , when he came H935 to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , that he fell H5307 W-VQY3MS to the earth H776 NFS-3FS , and did obeisance H7812 W-VHY3MS .
3 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , From whence H335 IPRO comest H935 VQY2MS thou ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Out of the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 am I escaped H4422 .
4 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , How H4100 IPRO went H1961 VQQ3MS the matter H1697 D-NMS ? I pray thee H4994 IJEC , tell H5046 me . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , That H834 RPRO the people H5971 are fled H5127 from H4480 PREP the battle H4421 , and many H7235 VHFA of H4480 PREP the people H5971 also H1571 W-CONJ are fallen H5307 and dead H4191 ; and Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 CMS-3MS are dead H4191 VQQ3MP also H1571 W-CONJ .
5 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the young man H5288 that told H5046 him , How H349 knowest H3045 VQQ2MS thou that H3588 CONJ Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 be dead H4191 ?
6 And the young man H5288 that told H5046 him said H559 W-VQY3MS , As I happened H7136 by chance H7122 upon mount H2022 Gilboa H1533 , behold H2009 IJEC , Saul H7586 leaned H8172 upon H5921 PREP his spear H2595 ; and , lo H2009 IJEC , the chariots H7393 and horsemen H1167 followed hard H1692 after him .
7 And when he looked H6437 behind H310 PREP-3MS him , he saw H7200 me , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 me . And I answered H559 W-VQY1MS , Here H2009 am I .
8 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto me , Who H4310 IPRO art thou H859 PPRO-2MS ? And I answered H559 W-VQY3MS him H413 PREP-3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am an Amalekite H6003 .
9 He said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me again , Stand H5975 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , upon H5921 PREP-1MS me , and slay H4191 me : for H3588 CONJ anguish H7661 is come H270 upon me , because H3588 CONJ my life H5315 CFS-1MS is yet H5750 ADV whole H3605 CMS in me .
10 So I stood H5975 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and slew H4191 him , because H3588 CONJ I was sure H3045 VQY1MS that H3588 CONJ he could not H3808 NADV live H2421 after that H310 PREP he was fallen H5307 : and I took H3947 the crown H5145 that H834 RPRO was upon H5921 PREP-3MS his head H7218 CMS-3MS , and the bracelet H685 that H834 RPRO was on H5921 PREP-3MS his arm H2220 , and have brought H935 them hither H2008 unto H413 PREP my lord H113 .
11 Then David H1732 MMS took hold H2388 on his clothes H899 , and rent H7167 them ; and likewise H1571 W-CONJ all H3605 NMS the men H376 D-NMP that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him :
12 And they mourned H5594 , and wept H1058 W-VQY3MP , and fasted H6684 until H5704 PREP even H6153 , for H5921 PREP Saul H7586 , and for H5921 PREP Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 CMS-3MS , and for H5921 PREP the people H5971 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and for H5921 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 ; because H3588 CONJ they were fallen H5307 VQQ3MP by the sword H2719 .
13 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the young man H5288 that told H5046 him , Whence H335 IPRO art thou H859 PPRO-2MS ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am the son H1121 of a stranger H1616 NMS , an Amalekite H6003 .
14 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , How H349 wast thou not H3808 NADV afraid H3372 to stretch forth H7971 thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS to destroy H7843 L-VPFC the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS \'s anointed H4899 ?
15 And David H1732 called H7121 W-VQY3MS one H259 of the young men H5288 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go near H5066 , and fall H6293 upon him . And he smote H5221 him that he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
16 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thy blood H1818 be upon H5921 PREP thy head H7218 ; for H3588 CONJ thy mouth H6310 CMS-2MS hath testified H6030 against thee , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS have slain H4191 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS \'s anointed H4899 .
17 And David H1732 MMS lamented H6969 with H854 PREP this H2063 D-DFS lamentation H7015 over H5921 PREP Saul H7586 and over H5921 PREP Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 :
18 (Also he bade H559 W-VQY3MS them teach H3925 the children H1121 of Judah H3063 the use of the bow H7198 NFS : behold H2009 IJEC , it is written H3789 in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of Jasher H3477 . )
19 The beauty H6643 of Israel H3478 is slain H2491 upon H5921 PREP thy high places H1116 : how H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 VQQ3MP !
20 Tell H5046 it not H408 NPAR in Gath H1661 , publish H1319 it not H408 ADV in the streets H2351 of Askelon H831 ; lest H6435 CONJ the daughters H1323 CFP of the Philistines H6430 TMS rejoice H8055 , lest H6435 CONJ the daughters H1323 CFP of the uncircumcised H6189 triumph H5937 .
21 Ye mountains H2022 CMP of Gilboa H1533 , let there be no H408 NPAR dew H2919 , neither H408 ADV let there be rain H4306 NMS , upon H5921 PREP-2MP you , nor fields H7704 of offerings H8641 : for H3588 CONJ there H8033 ADV the shield H4043 NMS of the mighty H1368 is vilely cast away H1602 , the shield H4043 NMS of Saul H7586 , as though he had not H1097 ADV been anointed H4886 with oil H8081 .
22 From the blood H1818 of the slain H2491 NMP , from the fat H2459 of the mighty H1368 , the bow H7198 CFS of Jonathan H3083 turned H7734 not H3808 NADV back H268 , and the sword H2719 of Saul H7586 returned H7725 VQY3FS not H3808 NADV empty H7387 .
23 Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 were lovely H157 and pleasant H5273 in their lives H2416 , and in their death H4194 they were not H3808 NADV divided H6504 : they were swifter H7043 VQQ3MP than eagles H5404 , they were stronger H1396 than lions H738 .
24 Ye daughters H1323 CFP of Israel H3478 , weep H1058 over H413 PREP Saul H7586 , who clothed H3847 you in scarlet H8144 , with H5973 PREP other delights H5730 , who put on H5927 ornaments H5716 of gold H2091 NMS upon H5921 PREP your apparel H3830 .
25 How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 VQQ3MP in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the battle H4421 ! O Jonathan H3083 , thou wast slain H2491 in H5921 PREP thine high places H1116 .
26 I am distressed H6887 for H5921 PREP-2MS thee , my brother H251 Jonathan H3083 : very H3966 ADV pleasant H5276 hast thou been unto me : thy love H160 to me was wonderful H6381 , passing the love H160 of women H802 .
27 How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 VQQ3MP , and the weapons H3627 of war H4421 perished H6 !
