11. And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
12. and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
13. And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, `Whence [art] thou?' and he saith, `Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I [am].'
14. And David saith unto him, `How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?'
15. And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, `Draw nigh--fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth;
16. and David saith unto him, `Thy blood [is] on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I--I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.'
17. And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;
18. and he saith to teach the sons of Judah `The Bow;' lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: --
19. `The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded; How have the mighty fallen!
20. Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice--The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult--The daughters of the Uncircumcised!
21. Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul--without the anointed with oil.
22. From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.
23. Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!
24. Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
