  1:1 ¶
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalek{gr.Amalec}, and David abode two days in Ziklag{gr.Sekelac}. |
|
1:1 ¶
Now it came to pass°
after°
the death°
of Saul,°
when David°
was returned°°
from the slaughter°°°
of°
the Amalekites,°
and David°
had abode°°
two°
days°
in Ziklag;° |
|
1:2
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him. |
|
1:2
It came even to pass°
on the third°
day,°
that, behold,°
a man°
came°°
out of°
the camp°
from°°
Saul°
with his clothes°
rent,°°
and earth°
upon°
his head:°
and [so] it was,°
when he came°°
to°
David,°
that he fell°°
to the earth,°
and did obeisance.°° |
|
1:3
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel. |
|
1:3
And David°
said°°
unto him, From whence°°°
comest°°
thou? And he said°°
unto°
him, Out of the camp°°
of Israel°
am I escaped.°° |
|
1:4
And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead. |
|
1:4
And David°
said°°
unto°
him, How°
went°
the matter?°
I pray thee,°
tell°°
me. And he answered,°°
That°
the people°
are fled°°
from°
the battle,°
and many°°
of°
the people°
also°
are fallen°°
and dead;°°
and Saul°
and Jonathan°
his son°
are dead°°
also.° |
|
1:5
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? |
|
1:5
And David°
said°°
unto°
the young man°
that told°°
him, How°
knowest°°
thou that°
Saul°
and Jonathan°
his son°
be dead?°° |
|
1:6
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gilboa{gr.Gelbue}; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him. |
|
1:6
And the young man°
that told°°
him said,°°
As I happened°°
by chance°°
upon mount°
Gilboa,°
behold,°
Saul°
leaned°°
upon°
his spear;°
and, lo,°
the chariots°
and horsemen°°
followed hard°°
after him. |
|
1:7
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I. |
|
1:7
And when he looked°°
behind°
him, he saw°°
me, and called°°
unto°
me. And I answered,°°
Here°
[am] I. |
|
1:8
And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite. |
|
1:8
And he said°°
unto me, Who°
[art] thou?°
And I answered°°
him,°
I°
[am] an Amalekite.° |
|
1:9
And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me. |
|
1:9
He said°°
unto°
me again, Stand,°°
I pray thee,°
upon°
me, and slay°°
me: for°
anguish°
is come°°
upon me, because°
my life°
[is] yet°
whole°
in me. |
|
1:10
So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord. |
|
1:10
So I stood°°
upon°
him, and slew°°
him, because°
I was sure°°
that°
he could not°
live°°
after°
that°
he was fallen:°°
and I took°°
the crown°
that°
[was] upon°
his head,°
and the bracelet°
that°
[was] on°
his arm,°
and have brought°°
them hither°
unto°
my adon.° |
|
1:11
And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments. |
|
1:11
Then David°
took hold°°
on his clothes,°
and rent°°
them; and likewise°
all°
the men°°
that°
[were] with°
him: |
|
1:12
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Judah{gr.Juda}, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with the sword. |
|
1:12
And they mourned,°°
and wept,°°
and fasted°°
until°
even,°
for°
Saul,°
and for°
Jonathan°
his son,°
and for°
the people°
of Yahweh,°
and for°
the house°
of Israel;°
because°
they were fallen°°
by the sword.° |
|
1:13 ¶
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner. |
|
1:13 ¶
And David°
said°°
unto°
the young man°
that told°°
him, Whence°°°
[art] thou?°
And he answered,°°
I°
[am] the son°
of a stranger,°°
an Amalekite.° |
|
1:14
And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord? |
|
1:14
And David°
said°°
unto°
him, How°
wast thou not°
afraid°°
to stretch forth°°
thine hand°
to destroy°°°
Yahweh's°
anointed?° |
|
1:15
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died. |
|
1:15
And David°
called°°
one°
of the young men,°°
and said,°°
Go near,°°
[and] fall°°
upon him. And he smote°°
him that he died.°° |
|
1:16
And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord. |
|
1:16
And David°
said°°
unto°
him, Thy blood°
[be] upon°
thy head;°
for°
thy mouth°
hath testified°°
against thee, saying,°°
I°
have slain°°°
Yahweh's°
anointed.° |
|
1:17 ¶
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son. |
|
1:17 ¶
And David°
lamented°°
with°
this°
lamentation°
over°
Saul°
and over°
Jonathan°
his son:° |
|
1:18
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Judah{gr.Juda}: behold, it is written in the book of Right. |
|
1:18
(Also he bade°°
them teach°°
the children°
of Judah°
[the use of] the bow:°
behold,°
[it is] written°°
in°
the book°
of Jasher.)° |
|
1:19
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! |
|
1:19
The beauty°
of Israel°
is slain°
upon°
thy high places:°
how°
are the mighty°
fallen!°° |
|
1:20
Tell it not in Gath{gr.Geth}, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Askelon{gr.Ascalon}, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. |
|
1:20
Tell°°
[it] not°
in Gath,°
publish°°
[it] not°
in the streets°
of Askelon;°
lest°
the daughters°
of the Philistines°
rejoice,°°
lest°
the daughters°
of the uncircumcised°
triumph.°° |
|
1:21
Ye mountains of Gilboa{gr.Gelbue}, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil. |
|
1:21
Ye mountains°
of Gilboa,°
[let there be] no°
dew,°
neither°
[let there be] rain,°
upon°
you, nor fields°
of offerings:°
for°
there°
the shield°
of the mighty°
is vilely cast away,°°
the shield°
of Saul,°
[as though he had] not°
[been] anointed°°
with oil.° |
|
1:22
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty. |

not°
empty.° |
|
1:23
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions. |
|
1:23
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.°° |
|
1:24
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel. |
|
1:24
Ye daughters°
of Israel,°
weep°
over°°°
Saul,°
who clothed°°
you in scarlet,°
with°
[other] delights,°
who put°°
on°
ornaments°
of gold°
upon°
your apparel.° |
|
1:25
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places! |
|
1:25
How°
are the mighty°
fallen°°
in the midst°
of the battle!°
O Jonathan,°
[thou wast] slain°
in°
thine high places.° |
|
1:26
I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women. |
|
1:26
I am distressed°°
for°
thee, my brother°
Jonathan:°
very°
pleasant°°
hast thou been unto me: thy love°
to me was wonderful,°°
passing the love°°
of women.° |
|
1:27
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! |
