2 Samuel 1

1 And it was after [the] death of Saul and David he returned from defeating Amalek and he remained David in Ziklag days two.

2 And it was - on the day third and there! a man [was] coming from the camp from with Saul and garments his [were] torn and earth [was] on head his and it was when came he to David and he fell [the] ground towards and he bowed down.

3 And he said to him David where? from this are you coming and he said to him from [the] camp of Israel I have escaped.

4 And he said to him David what? was it the word tell please to me and he said that it has fled the people from the battle and also [surely] a multitude has fallen of the people and they have died and also Saul and Jonathan son his they have died.

5 And he said David to the young man who had told to him how? do you know that he has died Saul and Jonathan son his.

6 And he said the young man - who had told to him [surely] by chance I found myself on [the] mountain of Gilboa and there! Saul [was] leaning on spear his and there! the chariotry and [the] owners of the horses they overtook him.

7 And he turned behind him and he saw me and he called to me and I said here [am] I.

8 And he said to me who? [are] you (and I said *Q(K)*) to him [am] an Amalekite I.

9 And he said to me stand please over me and kill me for it has seized me dizziness for all still life my [is] in me.

10 And I stood over him and I killed him for I knew that not he will live after had fallen he and I took the crown - which [was] on head his and an armlet which [was] on arm his and I brought them to lord my here.

11 And he took hold David (on garments his *Q(K)*) and he tore them and also all the men who [were] with him.

12 And they mourned and they wept and they fasted until the evening on Saul and on Jonathan son his and on [the] people of Yahweh and on [the] house of Israel for they had fallen by the sword.

13 And he said David to the young man who had told to him where? from this [are] you and he said [am the] son of a man a sojourner an Amalekite I.

14 And he said to him David how? not were you afraid to stretch out hand your to destroy [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.

15 And he called David to one from the young men and he said draw near fall on him and he struck down him and he died.

16 And he said to him David (blood your *Q(K)*) [be] on head your for own mouth your it has testified against you saying I I killed [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.

17 And he lamented David the lamentation this on Saul and on Jonathan son his.

18 And he said to teach [the] descendants of Judah Bow here! [it is] written on [the] scroll of the Jashar.

19 The beauty O Israel on high places your [is] slain how! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones].

20 May not you tell in Gath may not you bear news in [the] streets of Ashkelon lest they should rejoice [the] daughters of [the] Philistines lest they should exult [the] daughters of the uncircumcised.

21 O mountains in Gilboa may not dew and may not rain [be] on you and fields of contributions for there it was defiled [the] shield of [the] mighty [ones] [the] shield of Saul not [was] anointed with oil.

22 From [the] blood of [those] slain from [the] fat of [the] mighty [ones] [the] bow of Jonathan not it turned back backwards and [the] sword of Saul not it returned empty.

23 Saul and Jonathan lovable and pleasant in lives their and in death their not they were separated more than eagles they were swift more than lions they were strong.

24 O daughters of Israel because of Saul weep who clothed you scarlet with luxuries who brought up ornament[s] of gold on clothing your.

25 How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] in [the] middle of the battle Jonathan on high places your [is] slain.

26 It is distress to me on you O brother my Jonathan you were pleasant to me very it was wonderful love your to me more than [the] love of women.

27 How! they have fallen [the] mighty [ones] and they have perished [the] weapons of war.
