  • 1 Sam 31:1-8 : 1 The Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them. Many fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, Saul's sons. 3 The battle grew fierce against Saul. The archers found him, and he was badly wounded by them. 4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and pierce me with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and abuse me.' But his armor-bearer was too afraid and refused. So Saul took his sword and fell on it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died with him. 6 So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day. 7 When the Israelites on the other side of the valley and the Jordan saw that Israel's army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and occupied them. 8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
  • 2 Sam 1:17-27 : 17 David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan: 18 He ordered that the people of Judah be taught this lament of the bow, as it is written in the Book of Jashar: 19 Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen! 20 Do not tell it in Gath, do not announce it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult. 21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, nor fields of offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled—the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil. 22 From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty. 23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely, in life and in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and finery, who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold. 25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan lies slain on your high places. 26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more than the love of women. 27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!
