☆ 2 Samuel 1:1-4, 11-12, 19, 23-27
1
Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
2
On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
3
And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.
4
And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
11
Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:
12
And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.
19
The glory, O Israel, is dead on your high places! How have the great ones been made low!
23
Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24
O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.
25
How have the great ones been made low in the fight! Jonathan is dead on your high places.
26
I am full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.
27
How have the great ones been made low, and the arms of war broken!
