2 Samuel 1:14-21 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. And David said unto him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

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

16. And David said unto him, Your blood be upon your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed.

17. And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

18. Also he told them to teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.

19. The beauty of Israel is slain upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21. You 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.
