1 After the death of Saul, Davidreturned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklagtwo days. 2 On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.
3 "Where have you come from?" Davidasked.
"I have escaped from the Israelite camp," he replied.
4 "What was the outcome?" Davidasked. "Please tell me."
"The troops fled from the battle," he replied. "Many of them fell and died. And Sauland his son Jonathanare also dead."
5 Then Davidasked the young man who had brought him the report, "How do you know that Sauland his son Jonathanare dead?"
6 "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa," he replied, "and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him. 7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked.
So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."
11 Then Davidtook hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same. 12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Sauland his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 And Davidinquired of the young man who had brought him the report, "Where are you from?"
"I am the son of a foreigner," he answered. "I am an Amalekite."
14 So David asked him, "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?" 15 Then Davidsummoned one of the young men and said, "Go, execute him!" So the young man struck him down, and he died. 16 For Davidhad said to the Amalekite, "Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’"
David’s Song for Saul and Jonathan
17 Then Davidtook up this lament for Sauland his son Jonathan, 18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow.1:18 Or be taught the use of the bow; literally be taught the bowIt is written in the Book of Jashar:1:18 Or the Book of the Upright One, commonly cited as Jasher; note that the Song of the Bow that follows is not found in known manuscripts attributed to Jasher.
19 "Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights.
How the mighty have fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath;
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21 O mountains of Gilboa,
may you have no dew or rain,
no fields yielding offerings of grain.1:21 Or no showers falling on your terraced fields; LXX no fields of firstfruits; Hebrew no fields of offerings
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathandid not retreat,
and the sword of Sauldid not return empty.
23 Sauland Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life,
were not divided in death.
They were swifter than eagles;
they were stronger than lions.
24 O daughters of Israel,
weep for Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet and luxury,
who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle!
Jonathanlies slain on your heights.
26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother.
You were delightful to me;
your love to me was extraordinary,
surpassing the love of women.
27 How the mighty have fallen,
and the weapons of war have perished!"
