1 It was thus that Saul died. As for David, he returned after defeating the Amalekites. He was already two days in Ziklag
2 when, on the third day, a man came from Saul's camp, with his clothes torn and dust strewn on his head. He went to David and fell to the ground in homage.
3 David asked him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I have escaped from the Israelite camp."
4 David then said, "Tell me what happened." And the man told him, "The soldiers fled from the battle but many of them fell and died. Saul and his son Jonathan - they too are dead."
5 Then David asked the young man who reported this, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"
6 The young man replied, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and I saw Saul leaning on his spear while chariots and horsemen were closing in on him.
7 He turned around and, seeing me, called me.
8 I said, 'Here I am.' He asked, 'Who are you?' and I replied, 'I am an Amalekite.'
9 He then said to me, 'Come here and kill me for I feel dizzy though I am fully alive.'
10 So I went over and killed him, for I knew that he would fall and not rise again. Then I removed the crown from his head and the armlet from his arm, both of which I have here to give you, my lord."
11 At this, David took hold of his clothes and tore them and his men did the same.
12 And they mourned, weeping and fasting until evening, for the death of Saul and his son Jonathan, for all the people of Judah and for the nation of Israel.
13 David asked the young man who told him this, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am the son of an Amalekite immigrant."
14 David said, "Why were you not afraid to lay your hands on Yahweh's anointed and kill him?"
15 He then called one of his men and ordered him, "Come and strike him down." He struck down the Amalekite and killed him.
16 David declared, "You will answer for your own blood for you condemned yourself when you said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed'."
17 David sang this song of lamentation for Saul and his son Jonathan, and had it taught to the people of Judah. It is called "The Bow"
18 and is found in the Book of the Just.
19 "Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your mountains! How the mighty ones have fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon lest the Philistine women rejoice, lest foreign maidens exult.
21 Mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew nor rain visit you, no more fertile fields on you! For on you the shield of the valiant was defiled.
22 The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil; but with the blood of the slain. From the fat of the warriors, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, nor did the sword of Saul return unstained.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and cherished, neither in life nor in death were they parted; swifter than eagles they were and stronger than lions.
24 Women of Israel, weep over Saul who clothed you in precious scarlet.
25 How the valiant have fallen! In the midst of the battle Jonathan lies slain on your mountains.
26 I grieve for you, my brother Jonathan; how dear have you been to me! Your love for me was wonderful, even more than the love of women.
27 How the valiant have fallen! The weapons of war have perished!"
