2 Samuel 1:13-21 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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.
