2 Samuel 1:1-19

1:1

Now it came to pass after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Saul
<07586>_,

when David
<01732>

was returned
<07725> (8804)

from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)

of the Amalekites
<06002>_,

and David
<01732>

had abode
<03427> (8799)

two
<08147>

days
<03117>

in Ziklag
<06860>_;

1:2

It came even to pass on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

that, behold, a man
<0376>

came
<0935> (8802)

out of the camp
<04264>

from Saul
<07586>

with his clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and earth
<0127>

upon his head
<07218>_:

and [so] it was, when he came
<0935> (8800)

to David
<01732>_,

that he fell
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_.

1:3

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, From whence comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Out of the camp
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>

am I escaped
<04422> (8738)_.

1:4

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, How
<04100>

went the matter
<01697>_?

I pray thee, tell
<05046> (8685)

me. And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

That the people
<05971>

are fled
<05127> (8804)

from the battle
<04421>_,

and many
<07235> (8687)

of the people
<05971>

also are fallen
<05307> (8804)

and dead
<04191> (8799)_;

and Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>

are dead
<04191> (8804)

also. {How...: Heb. What was, etc}

1:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the young man
<05288>

that told
<05046> (8688)

him, How knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou that Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>

be dead
<04191> (8804)_?

1:6

And the young man
<05288>

that told
<05046> (8688)

him said
<0559> (8799)_,

As I happened
<07136> (8738)

by chance
<07122> (8736)

upon mount
<02022>

Gilboa
<01533>_,

behold, Saul
<07586>

leaned
<08172> (8737)

upon his spear
<02595>_;

and, lo, the chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<01167> <06571>

followed hard
<01692> (8689)

after him.

1:7

And when he looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

him, he saw
<07200> (8799)

me, and called
<07121> (8799)

unto me. And I answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [am] I. {Here...: Heb. Behold me}

1:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered
<0559> (8799)

him, I [am] an Amalekite
<06003>_.

1:9

He said
<0559> (8799)

unto me again, Stand
<05975> (8798)_,

I pray thee, upon me, and slay
<04191> (8786)

me: for anguish
<07661>

is come
<0270> (8804)

upon me, because my life
<05315>

[is] yet whole in me. {anguish...: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc}

1:10

So I stood
<05975> (8799)

upon him, and slew
<04191> (8787)

him, because I was sure
<03045> (8804)

that he could not live
<02421> (8799)

after
<0310>

that he was fallen
<05307> (8800)_:

and I took
<03947> (8799)

the crown
<05145>

that [was] upon his head
<07218>_,

and the bracelet
<0685>

that [was] on his arm
<02220>_,

and have brought
<0935> (8686)

them hither unto my lord
<0113>_.

1:11

Then David
<01732>

took hold
<02388> (8686)

on his clothes
<0899>_,

and rent
<07167> (8799)

them; and likewise all the men
<0582>

that [were] with him:

1:12

And they mourned
<05594> (8799)_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_,

and fasted
<06684> (8799)

until even
<06153>_,

for Saul
<07586>_,

and for Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>_,

and for the people
<05971>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

because they were fallen
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>_.

1:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the young man
<05288>

that told
<05046> (8688)

him, Whence [art] thou? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the son
<01121>

of a stranger
<0376> <01616>_,

an Amalekite
<06003>_.

1:14

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, How wast thou not afraid
<03372> (8804)

to stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

thine hand
<03027>

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_?

1:15

And David
<01732>

called
<07121> (8799)

one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go near
<05066> (8798)_,

[and] fall
<06293> (8798)

upon him. And he smote
<05221> (8686)

him that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

1:16

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thy blood
<01818>

[be] upon thy head
<07218>_;

for thy mouth
<06310>

hath testified
<06030> (8804)

against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I have slain
<04191> (8790)

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

1:17

And David
<01732>

lamented
<06969> (8787)

with this lamentation
<07015>

over Saul
<07586>

and over Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>_:

1:18

(Also he bade
<0559> (8799)

them teach
<03925> (8763)

the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

[the use of] the bow
<07198>_:

behold, [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of Jasher
<03477>.)

{of Jasher: or, of the upright}

1:19

The beauty
<06643>

of Israel
<03478>

is slain
<02491>

upon thy high places
<01116>_:

how are the mighty
<01368>

fallen
<05307> (8804)_!
