Scriptures:
2 Samuel
1:17-27
David
took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan, and ordered that the
men of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of
Jashar):
Your glory, O Israel, lies slain
on your heights. How the mighty have
fallen!
“Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest
the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the
uncircumcised rejoice.
‘O mountains of Gilboa, may you
have neither dew nor rain, nor fields that yield offerings of grain. For there
the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with
oil.
From the blood of the slain, from
the flesh of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul
did not return unsatisfied.
“Saul and Jonathan— in life they were
loved and gracious, and in death they were not parted. They were swifter than
eagles, they were stronger than lions.
“O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet and finery,
who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold.
“How the mighty have fallen in
battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights. I grieve for you, Jonathan my
brother; you were very dear to me. Your
love for me was wonderful,
more wonderful than that of women.
“How the mighty have fallen! The
weapons of war have perished!”
1 Samuel:16:14
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an
evil spirit
from the LORD troubled him.
