said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

      30:24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

      30:25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

      30:26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

      30:27 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,

      30:28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

      30:29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,

      30:30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,

      30:31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

      31:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

      31:2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.

      31:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.

      31:4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

      31:5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

      31:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

      31:7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

      31:8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

      31:9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.

      31:10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.

      31:11 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;

      31:12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

      31:13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

      1:1 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;

      1:2 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.

      1:3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

      1:4 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.

      1:5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

      1:6 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.

      1:7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.

      1:8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

      1:9 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.

      1:10 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.

      1:11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:

      1:12 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.

      1:13 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.

      1:14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?

      1:15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

      1:16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee,
