11. Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12. and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13. And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
14. And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah’s anointed?
15. And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died.
16. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah’s anointed.
17. And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18. (and he bade them teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19. Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!
20. Tell it not in Gath, Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21. Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23. Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.
