2 Samuel 1:2-16
2
It came H1961 even to pass on the third H7992 day, H3117 that, behold, H2009 a man H376 came H935 out of the camp H4264 from Saul H7586 with his clothes H899 rent, H7167 and earth H127 on his head: H7218 and so it was, when he came H935 to David, H1732 that he fell H5307 to the earth, H776 and did obeisance. H7812
3
And David H1732 said H559 to him, From where H335 H2088 come H935 you? And he said H559 to him, Out of the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 am I escaped. H4422
4
And David H1732 said H559 to him, How H4100 went H1961 the matter? H1697 I pray H4994 you, tell H5046 me. And he answered, H559 That the people H5971 are fled H5127 from the battle, H4421 and many H7235 of the people H5971 also H1571 are fallen H5307 and dead; H4191 and Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 are dead H4191 also. H1571
5
And David H1732 said H559 to the young H5288 man that told H5046 him, How H349 know H3045 you that Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 be dead? H4191
6
And the young H5288 man that told H5046 him said, H559 As I happened H7136 by chance H7122 on mount H2022 Gilboa, H1533 behold, H2009 Saul H7586 leaned H8172 on his spear; H2595 and, see, H2009 the chariots H7393 and horsemen H1167 H6571 followed H1692 hard H1692 after him.
7
And when he looked H6437 behind H310 him, he saw H7200 me, and called H7121 to me. And I answered, H559 Here H2009 am I.
8
And he said H559 to me, Who H4310 are you? And I answered H559 him, I am an Amalekite. H6003
9
He said H559 to me again, Stand, H5975 I pray H4994 you, on me, and slay H4191 me: for anguish H7661 is come H270 on me, because H3588 my life H5315 is yet H5750 whole H3605 in me.
10
So I stood H5975 on him, and slew H4191 him, because H3588 I was sure H3045 that he could not live H2421 after H310 that he was fallen: H5307 and I took H3947 the crown H5145 that was on his head, H7218 and the bracelet H685 that was on H5921 his arm, H2220 and have brought H935 them here to my lord. H113
11
Then David H1732 took hold H2388 on his clothes, H899 and rent H7167 them; and likewise H1571 all H3605 the men H582 that were with him:
12
And they mourned, H5594 and wept, H1058 and fasted H6684 until H5704 even, H6153 for Saul, H7586 and for Jonathan H3083 his son, H1121 and for the people H5971 of the LORD, H3068 and for the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 because H3588 they were fallen H5307 by the sword. H2719
13
And David H1732 said H559 to the young H5288 man that told H5046 him, From where H335 H2088 are you? And he answered, H559 I am the son H1121 of a stranger, H376 H1616 an Amalekite. H6003
14
And David H1732 said H559 to him, How H349 were you not afraid H3372 to stretch H7971 forth your hand H3027 to destroy H7843 the LORD's H3068 anointed? H4899
15
And David H1732 called H7121 one H259 of the young H5288 men, and said, H559 Go H5066 near, H5066 and fall H6293 on him. And he smote H5221 him that he died. H4191
16
And David H1732 said H559 to him, Your blood H1818 be on your head; H7218 for your mouth H6310 has testified H6030 against you, saying, H559 I have slain H4191 the LORD's H3068 anointed. H4899
