1So, after Saul kicked the bucket, David rolled back to Ziklag, chillin' for two days.

2On the third day, a dude popped outta Saul's camp, clothes all ripped and dirt on his head, like, "What’s good?" He hit the ground, showing mad respect to David.

3David was like, "Where you coming from?" And the guy said, "I escaped from Israel's camp, no cap."

4David asked, "What went down? Spill the tea." The dude replied, "The squad dipped from the battle, a lot of them are down, and Saul and his son Jonathan are gone too."

5David turned to the young man and asked, "How do you know Saul and Jonathan are dead?"

6The young man said, "I just happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul leaning on his spear, with chariots and riders coming for him."

7When Saul saw me, he called out, and I was like, "What’s up?"

8He asked, "Who are you?" I said, "I’m an Amalekite, fam."

9Saul told me, "Stand over me and finish me off, because I’m in pain, but I’m still alive."

10So I took him out, knowing he was done for, and I grabbed his crown and bracelet to bring to my dude.

11Then David ripped his clothes like, “This is sus,” and all the homies with him were like, “Same vibes.”

12They were straight-up mourning, crying, and fasting until evening for Saul, Jonathan, and the squad, ‘cause they got taken out by the sword.

13David asked the young dude who brought the news, “Where you from?” He replied, “I’m just a random Amalekite, no cap.”

14David was like, “How you not scared to mess with the Lord’s chosen? That’s savage.”

15David called over one of his guys, said, “Go take him out.” And he did, and dude was done for.

16David said, “Your blood’s on your own head; you just admitted to taking out the Lord’s anointed, fr.”

17David was all about that lamentation for Saul and his son Jonathan, like, “This hits different.”

18He told them to teach the kids of Judah how to use the bow, ‘cause it’s lit, and it’s in the book of Jasher.

19The beauty of Israel is taken down on the high places; like, how the mighty have fallen!

20“Don’t spill the tea in Gath or the streets of Askelon; the Philistine girls don’t need to celebrate, periodt.”

21Yo, mountains of Gilboa, no dew or rain for you, just dry vibes: the shield of the strong got tossed like it was nothing, like Saul wasn't even anointed.

22From the blood of the fallen, the bow of Jonathan never flinched, and Saul's sword didn't come back empty, no cap.

23Saul and Jonathan were straight-up goals in life, and even in death, they were a power duo: faster than eagles, stronger than lions, fr.

24Yo, daughters of Israel, shed some tears for Saul, who dripped in scarlet and brought you all the good vibes, decked you out in gold.

25How the mighty have fallen in battle! O Jonathan, you were taken out up high, savage.

26I’m feeling some type of way for you, my bro Jonathan: you were such a vibe, your love hit different, better than any romance.

27How the mighty have fallen, and all the war gear is just gone!

1Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;

2It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

3And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

4And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

5And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

6And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.

8And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

9He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.

10So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

11Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:

12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

13And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

14And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?

15And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

16And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord’s anointed.

17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

18(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

19The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20Tell 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.

21Ye 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.

22From 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.

23Saul 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.

24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.

26I 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.

27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
