New International Version NIV

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 After the death of Saul, David returned from striking down the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.

2 it came 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.

2 On the third day a man arrived from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him honor.

3 And David said unto him, Where dost thou come from? And he said unto him, I am escaped out of the camp of Israel.

3 “Where have you come from?” David asked him. He answered, “I have escaped from the Israelite camp.”

4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people fled from the battle, and many of the people fell and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan, his son, are dead also.

4 “What happened?” David asked. “Tell me.” “The men fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”

5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How dost thou know that Saul and Jonathan, his son, are dead?

5 Then David said to the young man who brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear, and the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” the young man said, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and their drivers in hot pursuit.

7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.

7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, ‘What can I do?’

8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

8 “He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ “ ‘An Amalekite,’ I answered.

9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me and slay me, for anguish is come upon me, and all my soul is yet in me.

9 “Then he said to me, ‘Stand here by me and kill me! I’m in the throes of death, but I’m still alive.’

10 So I stood upon him and slew him because I was sure that he could not live after 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 here unto my lord.

10 “So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”

11 Then David took hold on his clothes and rent them and likewise all the men that were with him.

11 Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them.

12 And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.

12 They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the LORD and for the nation of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

13 And David said unto the young man that told him, From where art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

13 David said to the young man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite,” he answered.

14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?

14 David asked him, “Why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

15 Then David called one of the young men and said, Go near and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

15 Then David called one of his men and said, “Go, strike him down!” So he struck him down, and he died.

16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head, for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.

16 For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’ ”

17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.

17 David took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan,

18 (He also bade them teach the sons of Judah the use of the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of righteousness.)

18 and he ordered that the people of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of Jashar):

19 The glory of Israel is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!

19 “A gazelle lies slain on your heights, Israel. How the mighty have fallen!

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.

20 “Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice.

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.

21 “Mountains of Gilboa, may you have neither dew nor rain, may no showers fall on your terraced fields.For there the shield of the mighty was despised, the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with oil.

22 Without the blood of the slain, without the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.

22 “From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.

23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and desired in their lives, and in their death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

23 Saul and Jonathan— in life they were loved and admired, and in death they were not parted. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

24 “Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and finery, who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold.

25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.

25 “How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.

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.

26 I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.

27 How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

27 “How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war have perished!”
