撒母耳记下 1:1-27

大卫得知扫罗的死讯

1大卫战胜了亚玛力人之后便回到洗革拉,在那里住了两天。那时扫罗已经死了。 2第三天,有一个衣服撕裂、头蒙灰尘的人从扫罗军营中跑到大卫面前,俯伏下拜。 3大卫问他:“你从哪里来?”那人答道:“我是从以色列军营逃出来的。” 4大卫说:“请告诉我那边的情况。”他说:“以色列军溃逃,伤亡惨重,扫罗和他儿子约拿单都死了!” 5大卫又问报信的青年:“你怎么知道扫罗和他儿子约拿单死了?” 6青年说:“我偶然到基利波山,看见扫罗在那里扶枪而立,敌人的战车骑兵紧紧追来。 7他回头看到我,便呼唤我。我说,‘我在这里。’ 8他问我是什么人。我告诉他我是亚玛力人。 9扫罗说他痛苦难当,却又死不掉,要我杀了他。 10我知道他身受重伤,必死无疑,就把他杀了,并取下他头上的王冠和臂上的镯子带来献给我主。”

11大卫就撕裂衣服,他的随从也撕裂衣服。 12他们因扫罗、他的儿子约拿单和耶和华的子民——以色列同胞阵亡而悲哀痛哭,禁食直到黄昏。 13大卫又问报信的青年:“你是哪里的人?”他答道:“我是寄居在以色列亚玛力人。” 14大卫说:“你怎么敢下手杀耶和华所膏立的王? 15-16你是咎由自取!因为你亲口承认自己杀了耶和华所膏立的王。”大卫随即命令一个年轻的随从杀死他,随从便杀死了他。

大卫的哀歌

17大卫作了一首挽歌哀悼扫罗和他儿子约拿单18并吩咐人教导犹大人唱这首弓歌。这首歌记在《雅煞珥书》上,歌词说:

19以色列啊,

你荣耀的王伏尸山上,

伟大的勇士竟然倒下!

20不要在迦特宣告,

不要在亚实基伦的街上传扬,

免得非利士的妇女幸灾乐祸,

免得未受割礼之人的女子欢喜雀跃。

21基利波山啊,愿你没有雨露,

你的田地不长献祭用的五谷,

因为在那里勇士的盾牌污迹斑斑,

扫罗的盾牌没有抹油。

22约拿单的弓射敌无数,

扫罗的剑不杀强敌不收回。

23扫罗约拿单深受爱戴,

生死不分离。

他们比鹰更敏捷,

比狮子还强壮。

24以色列的女子啊,

扫罗哀哭吧!

他曾使你们衣服华美,

穿金戴银。

25“勇士竟战死沙场!

约拿单竟伏尸山上!

26我的兄弟约拿单啊,

我为你悲伤,

你对我情深义重,

你对我的爱胜过女人的恋情。

27“伟大的勇士竟然倒下!

兵器竟然长埋!”

King James Version

2 Samuel 1:1-27

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.1.4 How…: Heb. What was, etc 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.1.7 Here…: Heb. Behold me 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.1.9 anguish…: or, my coat of mail (or, my embroidered coat) hindereth me, that my, etc 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.

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. 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.

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.)1.18 of Jasher: or, of the upright 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.1.23 pleasant: or, sweet 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!
