17大卫作了一首挽歌哀悼扫罗和他儿子约拿单，18并吩咐人教导犹大人唱这首弓歌。这首歌记在《雅煞珥书》上，歌词说：19“以色列啊， 你荣耀的王伏尸山上， 伟大的勇士竟然倒下！20不要在迦特宣告， 不要在亚实基伦的街上传扬， 免得非利士的妇女幸灾乐祸， 免得未受割礼之人的女子欢喜雀跃。21“基利波山啊，愿你没有雨露， 你的田地不长献祭用的五谷， 因为在那里勇士的盾牌污迹斑斑， 扫罗的盾牌没有抹油。22“约拿单的弓射敌无数， 扫罗的剑不杀强敌不收回。23“扫罗和约拿单深受爱戴， 生死不分离。 他们比鹰更敏捷， 比狮子还强壮。24“以色列的女子啊， 为扫罗哀哭吧！ 他曾使你们衣服华美， 穿金戴银。25“勇士竟战死沙场！ 约拿单竟伏尸山上！26我的兄弟约拿单啊， 我为你悲伤， 你对我情深义重， 你对我的爱胜过女人的恋情。27“伟大的勇士竟然倒下！ 兵器竟然长埋！”

David Hears of Saul’s Death
1After the death of Saul, when David had returned from striking down the Amalekites, David remained two days in Ziklag.2And on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And when he came to David, he fell to the ground and paid homage.3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” And he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”4And David said to him, “How did it go? Tell me.” And he answered, “The people fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”5Then David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”6And the young man who told him said, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear, and behold, the chariots and the horsemen were close upon him.7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’8And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’9And he said to me, ‘Stand beside me and kill me, for anguish has seized me, and yet my life still lingers.’10So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the armlet that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”11Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him.12And 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.13And David said to the young man who told him, “Where do you come from?” And he answered, “I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”14David said to him, “How is it you were not afraid to put out your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?”15Then David called one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him.” And he struck him down so that he died.16And David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’”
David’s Lament for Saul and Jonathan
17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,18and he said it* should be taught to the people of Judah; behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar.* He said:19“Your glory, O Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.21“You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, nor fields of offerings!* For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.22“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.23“Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In life and in death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles; they were stronger than lions.24“You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.25“How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! “Jonathan lies slain on your high places.26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.27“How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
