10:001:011 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and
           likewise all the men that were with him: 

10:001:012 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.

10:001:013 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.

10:001:014 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch
           forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?

10:001:015 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and
           fall upon him.  And he smote him that he died.

10:001:016 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.

10:001:017 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over
           Jonathan his son: 

10:001:018 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the
           bow:  behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

10:001:019 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places:  how are
           the mighty fallen!

10:001:020 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.

10:001:021 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.

10:001:022 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.

10:001:023 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.

10:001:024 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in
           scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold
           upon your apparel.

10:001:025 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!  O
           Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.

10:001:026 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.

10:001:027 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

10:002:001 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the
           lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? 
           And the lord said unto him, Go up.  And David said, Whither
           shall I go up?  And he said, Unto Hebron.
