2 Samuel 1:4-27

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)_!

1:20

Tell
<05046> (8686)

[it] not in Gath
<01661>_,

publish
<01319> (8762)

[it] not in the streets
<02351>

of Askelon
<0831>_;

lest the daughters
<01323>

of the Philistines
<06430>

rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,

lest the daughters
<01323>

of the uncircumcised
<06189>

triumph
<05937> (8799)_.

1:21

Ye mountains
<02022>

of Gilboa
<01533>_,

[let there be] no dew
<02919>_,

neither [let there be] rain
<04306>_,

upon you, nor fields
<07704>

of offerings
<08641>_:

for there the shield
<04043>

of the mighty
<01368>

is vilely cast away
<01602> (8738)_,

the shield
<04043>

of Saul
<07586>_,

[as though he had] not [been] anointed
<04899>

with oil
<08081>_.

1:22

From the blood
<01818>

of the slain
<02491>_,

from the fat
<02459>

of the mighty
<01368>_,

the bow
<07198>

of Jonathan
<03083>

turned
<07734> (8738)

not back
<0268>_,

and the sword
<02719>

of Saul
<07586>

returned
<07725> (8799)

not empty
<07387>_.

1:23

Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03083>

[were] lovely
<0157> (8737)

and pleasant
<05273>

in their lives
<02416>_,

and in their death
<04194>

they were not divided
<06504> (8738)_:

they were swifter
<07043> (8804)

than eagles
<05404>_,

they were stronger
<01396> (8804)

than lions
<0738>_.

{pleasant: or, sweet}

1:24

Ye daughters
<01323>

of Israel
<03478>_,

weep over
<01058> (8798)

Saul
<07586>_,

who clothed
<03847> (8688)

you in scarlet
<08144>_,

with [other] delights
<05730>_,

who put
<05927> (8688)

on ornaments
<05716>

of gold
<02091>

upon your apparel
<03830>_.

1:25

How are the mighty
<01368>

fallen
<05307> (8804)

in the midst
<08432>

of the battle
<04421>_!

O Jonathan
<03083>_,

[thou wast] slain
<02491>

in thine high places
<01116>_.

1:26

I am distressed
<06887> (8804)

for thee, my brother
<0251>

Jonathan
<03083>_:

very
<03966>

pleasant
<05276> (8804)

hast thou been unto me: thy love
<0160>

to me was wonderful
<06381> (8738)_,

passing the love
<0160>

of women
<0802>_.

1:27

How are the mighty
<01368>

fallen
<05307> (8804)_,

and the weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>

perished
<06> (8799)_!
