Now the Philistines H6430 fought H3898 against Israel: H3478 and the men H582 of Israel H3478 fled H5127 from before H6440 the Philistines, H6430 and fell H5307 down slain H2491 in mount H2022 Gilboa. H1533

And the battle H4421 went sore H3513 against H413 Saul, H7586 and the archers H3384 hit H4672 him; and he was sore H3966 wounded H2342 of the archers. H3384

And when his armor bearer H5375 H3627 saw H7200 that Saul H7586 was dead, H4191 he fell H5307 likewise H1571 on his sword, H2719 and died H4191 with him.

And when the men H582 of Israel H3478 that were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the valley, H6010 and they that were on the other H5676 side H5676 Jordan, H3383 saw H7200 that the men H582 of Israel H3478 fled, H5127 and that Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead, H4191 they forsook H5800 the cities, H5892 and fled; H5127 and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and dwelled H3427 in them.

And David H1732 lamented H6969 with this H2063 lamentation H7015 over H5921 Saul H7586 and over H5921 Jonathan H3083 his son: H1121

The beauty H6643 of Israel H3478 is slain H2491 on your high H1116 places: how H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen! H5307

You mountains H2022 of Gilboa, H1533 let there be no H408 dew, H2919 neither H408 let there be rain, H4306 on you, nor fields H7704 of offerings: H8641 for there H8033 the shield H4043 of the mighty H1368 is vilely H1602 cast H1602 away, the shield H4043 of Saul, H7586 as though he had not been anointed H4899 with oil. H8081

Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 were lovely H157 and pleasant H5273 in their lives, H2416 and in their death H4194 they were not divided: H6504 they were swifter H7043 than eagles, H5404 they were stronger H1396 than lions. H738

How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 in the middle H8432 of the battle! H4421 O Jonathan, H3083 you were slain H2491 in your high H1116 places.

How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen, H5307 and the weapons H3627 of war H4421 perished! H6

Now the Philistines H6430 fought H3898 against H5921 Israel; H3478 and the men H376 of Israel H3478 fled H5127 from before H6440 the Philistines, H6430 and fell H5307 down slain H2491 in mount H2022 Gilboa. H1533

And the battle H4421 went sore H3513 against H5921 Saul, H7586 and the archers H3384 H7198 hit H4672 him, and he was wounded H2342 of the archers. H3384

And when his armor bearer H5375 H3627 saw H7200 that Saul H7586 was dead, H4191 he fell H5307 likewise H1571 on H5921 the sword, H2719 and died. H4191

And when all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 that were in the valley H6010 saw H7200 that they fled, H5127 and that Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead, H4191 then they forsook H5800 their cities, H5892 and fled: H5127 and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and dwelled H3427 in them.

And the men H582 of Judah H3063 came, H935 and there H8033 they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 the house H1004 of Judah. H3063 And they told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 That the men H582 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 were they that buried H6912 Saul. H7586

Then came H935 all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to David H1732 to Hebron, H2275 and spoke, H559 saying, H559 Behold, H2005 we are your bone H6106 and your flesh. H1320

So all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and king H4428 David H1732 made H3772 a league H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478

Then all H3605 Israel H3478 gathered H6908 themselves to David H1732 to Hebron, H2275 saying, H559 Behold, H2009 we are your bone H6106 and your flesh. H1320

Therefore came H935 all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD; H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by Samuel. H8050

All H3605 these H428 men H582 of war, H4421 that could keep H5737 rank, H4634 came H935 with a perfect H8003 heart H3820 to Hebron, H2275 to make David H1732 king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478 and all H3605 the rest H7611 also H1571 of Israel H3478 were of one H259 heart H3824 to make David H1732 king. H4427

You are fairer H3302 than the children H1121 of men: H120 grace H2580 is poured H3332 into your lips: H8193 therefore H5921 H3651 God H430 has blessed H1288 you for ever. H5769

And David H1732 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to the men H582 of Jabeshgilead, H3003 H1568 and said H559 to them, Blessed H1288 be you of the LORD, H3068 that you have showed H6213 this H2088 kindness H2617 to your lord, H113 even to Saul, H7586 and have buried H6912 him.

And now H6258 the LORD H3068 show H6213 kindness H2617 and truth H571 to you: and I also H1571 will requite H6213 you this H2088 kindness, H2896 because H834 you have done H6213 this H2088 thing. H1697

Now these H428 be the last H314 words H1697 of David. H1732 David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 said, H5002 and the man H1397 who was raised H6965 up on high, H5920 the anointed H4899 of the God H430 of Jacob, H3290 and the sweet H5273 psalmist H2158 of Israel, H3478 said, H5002

And David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 If H518 it seem good H2895 to you, and that it be of the LORD H3068 our God, H430 let us send H7971 abroad H6555 to our brothers H251 every where, that are left H7604 in all H3605 the land H776 of Israel, H3478 and with them also to the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 which are in their cities H5892 and suburbs, H4054 that they may gather H6908 themselves to us:

And all G3956 bore G3140 him witness, G3140 and wondered G2296 at G1909 the gracious G5485 words G3056 which G3588 proceeded G1607 out of his mouth. G4750 And they said, G3004 Is not this G3778 Joseph's G2501 son? G5207
