2 Samuel 1 - Study the King James Bible

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;

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.

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

From: 2 Kings 5:25

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.

How went: Heb. What was, etc. 1 Samuel 4:16, *marg.

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

How knowest: Proverbs 14:15, Proverbs 25:2
Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 14:1 - Jonathan

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.

As I happened: The story of this young man appears to be wholly a fiction, formed for the purpose of ingratiating himself with David, as the next probable successor to the crown. There is no fact in the case, except for the bringing of the diadem and bracelets of Saul, as a sufficient evidence of his death, which, as he appears to been a plunderer of the slain, he seems to have stripped from the dead body of the unfortunate monarch It is remarkable, that Saul, who had forfeited his crown by his disobedience and ill-timed clemency with respect to the Amalekites, should now have the insignia of royalty stripped from his person by one of those very people.

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

Here am I: Heb. Behold me, 2 Samuel 9:6, Judges 9:54, 1 Samuel 22:12, Isaiah 6:8, *marg. Isaiah 65:1

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

an Amalekite: Genesis 14:7, Exodus 17:8-16, Numbers 24:20, Deuteronomy 25:17-19, 1 Samuel 15:3, 1 Samuel 27:8, 1 Samuel 30:1, 1 Samuel 30:13, 1 Samuel 30:17

And 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.

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.

slew: Judges 1:7, Judges 9:54, 1 Samuel 22:18, 1 Samuel 31:4, 1 Samuel 31:5, Matthew 7:2
crown: 2 Samuel 12:30, Lamentations 5:16
bracelet: This was probably worn as an ensign of royalty, as is frequently the case in the East. When the Khalif Cayem Bemrillah granted the investiture of certain dominions to an Eastern prince, the ceremony was performed by sending him letters patent, a crown, chain, and bracelets. The bracelet, says Mr. Morier, are ornaments fastened above the elbows, composed of precious stones of great value, and are only worn by the king and his sons.

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

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.

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.

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

Go near: 2 Samuel 4:10-12, Judges 8:20, 1 Samuel 22:17, 1 Samuel 22:18, 1 Kings 2:25, 1 Kings 2:34, 1 Kings 2:46, Job 5:12, Proverbs 11:18

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

teach: Genesis 49:8, Deuteronomy 4:10
bow: Kasheth, or the bow, was probably the title of the following threnody; so called, in the oriental style, because Saul's death was occasioned by that weapon, and because the bow of Jonathan, out of which "the arrow was shot beyond the lad," - 1 Samuel 20:36, is celebrated in this song.

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.
