lesserot - 2Samuel:1:1-16

lesserot@2Samuel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:2 @ And 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 it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:3 @ And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:4 @ And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:5 @ And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?

lesserot@2Samuel:1:6 @ And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:7 @ And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:8 @ And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An Amalekite am I.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:9 @ And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:11 @ David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:

lesserot@2Samuel:1:12 @ And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:13 @ And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an Amalekite, am I.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:14 @ And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lords anointed?

lesserot@2Samuel:1:15 @ And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

lesserot@2Samuel:1:16 @ And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lords anointed.
