17大衛作了一首輓歌哀悼掃羅和他兒子約拿單，18並吩咐人教導猶大人唱這首弓歌。這首歌記在《雅煞珥書》上，歌詞說：19「以色列啊， 你榮耀的王伏屍山上， 偉大的勇士竟然倒下！20不要在迦特宣告， 不要在亞實基倫的街上傳揚， 免得非利士的婦女幸災樂禍， 免得未受割禮之人的女子歡喜雀躍。21「基利波山啊，願你沒有雨露， 你的田地不長獻祭用的五穀， 因為在那裡勇士的盾牌污跡斑斑， 掃羅的盾牌沒有抹油。22「約拿單的弓射敵無數， 掃羅的劍不殺強敵不收回。23「掃羅和約拿單深受愛戴， 生死不分離。 他們比鷹更敏捷， 比獅子還強壯。24「以色列的女子啊， 為掃羅哀哭吧！ 他曾使你們衣服華美， 穿金戴銀。25「勇士竟戰死沙場！ 約拿單竟伏屍山上！26我的兄弟約拿單啊， 我為你悲傷， 你對我情深義重， 你對我的愛勝過女人的戀情。27「偉大的勇士竟然倒下！ 兵器竟然長埋！」

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!”
