David Hears of Saul’s Death(A)
1 After the death(B) of Saul, David returned from striking down(C) the Amalekites(D) and stayed in Ziklag two days. 2 On the third day a man(E) arrived from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head.(F) When he came to David, he fell(G) to the ground to pay him honor.(H)
3 “Where have you come from?” David asked him.
He answered, “I have escaped from the Israelite camp.”
4 “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.”
5 Then David said to the young man who brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,(I)” the young man said, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and their drivers in hot pursuit. 7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, ‘What can I do?’
8 “He asked me, ‘Who are you?’
“‘An Amalekite,(J)’ I answered.
9 “Then he said to me, ‘Stand here by me and kill me!(K) I’m in the throes of death, but I’m still alive.’
10 “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(L) that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore(M) them. 12 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.
13 David said to the young man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?”
“I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite,(N)” he answered.
14 David asked him, “Why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?(O)”
15 Then David called one of his men and said, “Go, strike him down!”(P) So he struck him down, and he died.(Q) 16 For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head.(R) Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the Lord’s anointed.’”
David’s Lament for Saul and Jonathan
17 David took up this lament(S) concerning Saul and his son Jonathan,(T) 18 and he ordered that the people of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of Jashar):(U)
20 “Tell it not in Gath,(X)
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,(Y)
lest the daughters of the Philistines(Z) be glad,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice.(AA)
21 “Mountains of Gilboa,(AB)
may you have neither dew(AC) nor rain,(AD)
may no showers fall on your terraced fields.[b](AE)
For there the shield of the mighty was despised,
the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with oil.(AF)
22 “From the blood(AG) of the slain,
from the flesh of the mighty,
the bow(AH) of Jonathan did not turn back,
the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
23 Saul and Jonathan—
in life they were loved and admired,
and in death they were not parted.
They were swifter than eagles,(AI)
they were stronger than lions.(AJ)
24 “Daughters of Israel,
weep for Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet and finery,
who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold.(AK)
25 “How the mighty have fallen in battle!
Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
26 I grieve(AL) for you, Jonathan(AM) my brother;(AN)
you were very dear to me.
Your love for me was wonderful,(AO)
more wonderful than that of women.
27 “How the mighty have fallen!
The weapons of war have perished!”(AP)

The Report of Saul’s Death
1 Now it came to pass after the (A)death of Saul, when David had returned from (B)the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag, 2 on the third day, behold, it happened that (C)a man came from Saul’s camp (D)with his clothes [a]torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he (E)fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?”
So he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
4 Then David said to him, (F)“How did the matter go? Please tell me.”
And he answered, “The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and (G)Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5 So David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 Then the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance to be on (H)Mount Gilboa, there was (I)Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 7 Now when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 8 And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 9 He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for [b]anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.’ 10 So I stood over him and (J)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 bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and (K)tore them, and so did all the men who were with him. 12 And they (L)mourned and wept and (M)fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the (N)people of the Lord and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Then David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?”
And he answered, “I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite.”
14 So David said to him, “How (O)was it you were not (P)afraid to (Q)put forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?” 15 Then (R)David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and execute him!” And he struck him so that he died. 16 So David said to him, (S)“Your blood is on your own head, for (T)your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”
The Song of the Bow
17 Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, 18 (U)and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written (V)in the Book [c]of Jasher:
19 “The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places!
(W)How the mighty have fallen!
20 (X)Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of (Y)Ashkelon—
Lest (Z)the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of (AA)the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “O (AB)mountains of Gilboa,
(AC)Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,
Nor fields of offerings.
For the shield of the mighty is [d]cast away there!
The shield of Saul, not (AD)anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain,
From the fat of the mighty,
(AE)The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives,
And in their (AF)death they were not divided;
They were swifter than eagles,
They were (AG)stronger than lions.
24 “O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
Who clothed you in scarlet, with luxury;
Who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.
25 “How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle!
Jonathan was slain in your high places.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
You have been very pleasant to me;
(AH)Your love to me was wonderful,
Surpassing the love of women.
27 “How(AI) the mighty have fallen,
And the weapons of war perished!”

サウルの死を知ったダビデ
1 1-2 サウルが死んだあと、ダビデはアマレク人を討って、ツィケラグに引き揚げて来ました。その三日後、イスラエル軍から一人の男がやって来ました。男は破れた服をまとい、頭に土をかぶっていて、ひと目で喪に服していることがわかりました。彼はダビデの前に出ると、深い敬意を表して地にひれ伏しました。
3 「どこから来たのだ」とダビデが聞くと、「イスラエルの陣営から逃れてまいりました」と彼は答えました。
4 「何かあったのか？ 戦いの様子はどうなのだ。」ダビデはせき込んで尋ねました。
「イスラエルは散り散りです。何千という兵士が死に、また負傷して野に倒れています。サウル王も、ヨナタン王子も殺されました。」
5 「サウル王とヨナタンが死んだと！ どうしてわかったのだ。」
6 「私はギルボア山におりましたが、槍にすがってようやく立っている王様に、敵の戦車が迫るのを見たのです。 7 王様は私を見るなり、こっちへ来いと叫ばれました。急いでおそばに駆け寄りますと、 8 『おまえはだれか』とお尋ねになります。『アマレク人でございます』とお答えしますと、 9 『さあ、私を殺してくれ。この苦しみから救ってくれ。死にきれないのがつらくて耐えられないのだ』とおっしゃるのです。 10 そこで私は、もう時間の問題だと察したので、あの方にとどめを刺しました。そして、あの方の王冠と腕輪の一つを持ってまいりました。」
11 この知らせを聞いて、ダビデと部下たちは悲しみのあまり、めいめいの衣服を引き裂きました。 12 彼らは、死んだサウル王とその子ヨナタン、それに、主の民といのちを落としたイスラエル人のために喪に服し、泣きながら終日断食しました。
13 ダビデは、王の死を告げに来た若者に言いました。「おまえはどこの者だ。」
若者は答えました。「アマレク人で、在留異国人でございます。」
14 「どうして、神に選ばれた王を手にかけたのか」と、ダビデは詰め寄りました。
15 そして部下の若者の一人に、「この男を打て！」と命じたのです。若者は剣を振りかざして走り寄り、そのアマレク人の首を打ち落としました。
16 ダビデは言いました。「自業自得だ。自分の口で、主がお立てになった王を殺したと証言したのだから。」
哀悼の歌
17-18 ダビデは、サウル王とヨナタンにささげる哀歌を作り、これがイスラエル中でのちのちまで歌い継がれるように命じました。英雄詩にその詩が記されています。
19 「ああ、イスラエル。
おまえの誇りと喜びは、しかばねとなって丘に横たわる。
大いなる英雄たちは倒れた。
20 ペリシテ人には告げるな。喜ばせてなるものか。
ガテとアシュケロンの町にも告げるな。
神を知らない者たちを勝ち誇らせてなるものか。
21 ギルボアの山よ、
露も降りるな。雨も降るな。
いけにえのささげられた野にも。
偉大なサウル王が倒れた地だから。
ああ、その盾は油も塗られず打ち捨てられた。
22 最強の敵を打ち殺したサウルとヨナタンは
空手で戦場から引き揚げたことはなかった。
23 ああ、サウルもヨナタンもどれほど愛され、
どれほどすぐれた人物であったことか。
生死を共にした彼ら。
鷲よりも速く、獅子よりも強かった。
24 さあ、イスラエルの女よ、サウル王のために泣け。
王は、おまえたちを惜しげなく着飾らせ、
金の飾りをまとわせてくれた。
25 偉大な英雄たちは、戦いの最中に倒れた。
ヨナタンは山の上で殺された。
26 わが兄弟ヨナタン。
あなたのために、どれほど涙を流したことか。
あなたをどれほど愛していたことか。
あなたの私への愛は、女の愛も及ばなかった。
27 ああ、勇士たちは倒れ、
武具は奪い取られ、彼らは死んだ。」

David treurt om Saul en Jonathan
1 1,2 Na de dood van Saul ging David terug naar Ziklag, na de Amalekieten een vernietigende nederlaag te hebben toegebracht. Drie dagen later kwam een soldaat uit het leger van Saul bij David met gescheurde kleren en stof op zijn hoofd als teken van rouw. Hij liet zich voor David op de grond vallen. 3 ‘Waar komt u vandaan?’ vroeg David hem. ‘Uit het legerkamp van Israël. Ik ben ontkomen,’ antwoordde de man. 4 ‘Wat is er gebeurd?’ vroeg David. ‘Vertel mij hoe de strijd is verlopen.’ De man antwoordde: ‘Ons hele leger is op de vlucht geslagen. Vele mannen liggen dood en gewond op het slagveld en ook Saul en zijn zoon Jonathan zijn gesneuveld.’ 5 ‘Hoe weet u dat zij dood zijn?’ vroeg David. 6 ‘Omdat ik toevallig op de berg Gilboa was en zag hoe Saul zich in zijn speer stortte, terwijl de vijandelijke strijdwagens hem insloten. 7 Toen hij mij zag, riep hij dat ik naar hem toe moest komen. 8 “Wie bent u?” vroeg hij. “Een Amalekiet,” antwoordde ik. 9 “Vooruit, verlos mij uit mijn lijden,” smeekte hij, “want ik lijd vreselijke pijn, maar de dood wil niet komen.” 10 Daarom doodde ik hem, want ik wist dat hij toch zou sterven. Daarna pakte ik zijn kroon en een van zijn armbanden om die naar u te brengen.’
11 David en zijn mannen scheurden hun kleren van verdriet toen zij dit hoorden. 12 Zij treurden, huilden en vastten de hele dag om Saul, zijn zoon Jonathan en de mannen van Israël die die dag waren gesneuveld.
13 Toen zei David tegen de jongeman die het nieuws had gebracht: ‘Waar komt u vandaan?’ En hij antwoordde: ‘Ik ben een Amalekiet.’ 14 ‘Waarom hebt u niet geweigerd de koning te doden? Hij was immers een gezalfde van de Here!’ wilde David weten. 15 Direct daarop beval hij een van zijn jonge mannen: ‘Dood hem!’ Deze deed dat. 16 ‘Dat is uw verdiende loon,’ zei David, ‘want u zei zelf dat u de door God gezalfde koning hebt gedood.’
17,18 En David schreef een klaaglied voor Saul en Jonathan, waarna hij opdracht gaf dat het aan alle mensen in Juda moest worden geleerd. De tekst hiervan is opgenomen in het Boek van de Oprechte.
19 ‘Och Israël, uw trots en vreugde liggen levenloos op de heuvels, machtige helden zijn gevallen.
20 Vertel het niet aan de Filistijnen, want het zou hun plezier doen. Verberg het voor de steden Gath en Askelon, zodat de heidense volken geen leedvermaak zullen hebben.
21 O bergen van Gilboa, laat geen regen of dauw meer op u vallen en laat de graanoogst niet meer rijpen op uw hellingen. Want de machtige Saul is op die plaats gedood. Het schild van Gods uitverkoren koning is daar weggeworpen.
22 Vele vijanden verloren hun leven en helden werden geveld: Jonathans boog en Sauls zwaard misten hun doel nooit.
23 Wat waren zij geliefd en bemind, Saul en Jonathan! Samen leefden zij en samen stierven zij. Zij waren sneller dan arenden en sterker dan leeuwen.
24 Huil nu om Saul, vrouwen van Israël. Hij maakte u rijk met prachtige kleren en gouden sieraden.
25 Deze moedige helden sneuvelden in het heetst van de strijd. Jonathan stierf in de heuvels.
26 Ik huil om u, mijn broeder Jonathan. Wat hield ik veel van u! Uw liefde voor mij was niet te vergelijken met de liefde van vrouwen!
27 Helaas, onze helden zijn gevallen. Beroofd van hun wapens verloren zij hun leven.’

1 Now 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;
2 It 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.
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 And 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.
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6 And 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.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 He 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.
10 So 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.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12 And 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.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16 And 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.
17 And 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.)
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Tell 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.
21 Ye 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.
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 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.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26 I 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.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
