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.
“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.”
“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.”
Я подошел и убил его, потому что знал, что после своего поражения он не сможет жить. Я взял венец, который был у него на голове, и браслет с его руки и принес их сюда, к моему господину.
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.
А Давид сказал, повернувшись к амаликитянину: — Твоя кровь на твоей голове. Ты сам свидетельствовал против себя, когда сказал: «Я убил Господнего помазанника».
“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.
“Mountains of Gilboa, may you have neither dew nor rain, may no showers fall on your terraced fields.b For there the shield of the mighty was despised, the shield of Saul — no longer rubbed with oil.
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.
