David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."

They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, 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.

"Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle. Jonathan is slain on your high places.

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished."

The king said to his servants, "Do you not know that there a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?

Behold, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can't arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
