15 Then aDavid called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and execute him!” And he struck him so that he died.
16 So David said to him, a“Your blood is on your own head, for byour own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”
The Song of the Bow
17 Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
18 aand he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written bin the Book of Jasher:
20 aTell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of bAshkelon—
Lest cthe daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of dthe uncircumcised triumph.
Proclaim it not in the streets of bAshkelon—
Lest cthe daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of dthe uncircumcised triumph.
