10:001:017 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over
Jonathan his son:
10:001:018 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the
bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
10:001:019 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are
the mighty fallen!
10:001:020 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.
10:001:021 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.
10:001:022 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the
bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul
returned not empty.
10:001:023 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.
10:001:024 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in
scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold
upon your apparel.
10:001:025 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O
Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
10:001:026 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.
10:001:027 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
10:002:001 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the
LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?
And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither
shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
10:002:002 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the
Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
10:002:003 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man
with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
10:002:004 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king
over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the
men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
10:002:005 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and
said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed
this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried
him.
10:002:006 And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also
will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this
thing.
