Samuel's note_Chapter 1

After Saul’s death, David returned from killing the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklah for two days.

On the third day, a man came out of Saul’s camp, his clothes torn and his head covered in dust, and went to David to bow down to the ground.

David asked him, “Where are you from?”. He said, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.

David asked him again, “What’s going on?”. Please tell me. He replied, “The people have fled from the battle, and many have fallen and died.”. Saul and his son Jonathan also died.

David asked the young man who reported the news, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan died?”?

The young man who reported the news said, “I happened to come to Mount Gilboa and saw Saul lying on his spear, with a chariot and cavalry chasing him closely.”.

He turned around and saw me, so he called me. I said, I’m here.

He asked me, “Who are you?”. I said, I am an Amalekite.

He said, please come and kill me. Because pain captures me, my life still exists.

I knew that if he fell, he would not be able to live. So I went and killed him, and brought the crown on his head and the bracelet on his arm to my lord.

David tore his clothes, and so did his followers,

And they mourned and wept, fasting until the evening, because Saul and his son Jonathan, as well as the people of the Lord and the people of the house of Israel, fell by the sword.

David asked the young man who reported the news, “Where are you from?”. He said, I am the son of the Amali guest.

David said, “Why are you not afraid to stretch out your hand and kill the Lord’s anointed one?”?

David called a young man and said, “Go and kill him.”.

David said to him, ‘The guilt of shedding blood is on your own head, because your own mouth bears witness, saying,’ I have killed the anointed one of the Lord. ‘. The young man killed him.

David mourned and mourned Saul and his son Jonathan,

And command to teach this song to the Jews. This song is called Bow Song, written in the book of Jashaar.

In the song, it is said, O Israel, Your honored one is slain on the mountain. How could a great hero die.

Do not report in Gath. Don’t spread it on Ashkelon Street. Lest the women of the Philistines rejoice. To prevent women who have not been circumcised from boasting.

Mount Kilipo, may there be no rain or dew in your place. May your field have no land to offer. Because the hero’s shield was defiled and discarded there. Saul’s shield seems to have not been oiled.

Jonathan’s bow and arrow will not retreat unless it sheds enemy blood. Saul’s sword does not retract the oil of the warrior.

Saul and Jonathan lived happily and loved each other, and did not separate in death. They are faster than eagles and stronger than lions.

Cry for Saul, O daughters of Israel. He clothed you in beautiful crimson clothes, and adorned your garments with gold.

How could a hero fall on the battlefield. How could Jonathan be killed on the mountain.

My brother Jonathan, I am sad for you. I am very pleased with you. The love you sent me is wonderful, more than the love of women.

How could a hero fall. How could weapons be destroyed.
