2 Samuel 1 from Scroll 4Q51 Samuela 4 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. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. 5 David said to the young man who told him, How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? [..] 10 So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after 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. 11 Then
David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and
all the men who were with him did likewise. 12 They
mourned, wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son,
and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they He answered, I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.
