Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Now it came to passe after þ^e death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and Dauid had abode two daies in Ziklag,

² It came euen to passe on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the campe from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and so it was when he came to Dauid, that hee fell to the earth, and did obeysance.

³ And Dauid said vnto him, From whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the campe of Israel am I escaped.

⁴ And Dauid said vnto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell mee. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battell, and many of the people also are fallen and dead, and Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead also.

⁵ And Dauid said vnto the yong man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead?

⁶ And the yong man that told him, said, As I happened by chance vpon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare: and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.

⁷ And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called vnto mee: and I answered, Here am I.

⁸ And hee said vnto mee, Who art thou? and I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

⁹ He said vnto me againe, Stand, I pray thee, vpon me, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon mee, because my life is yet whole in me.

¹⁰ So I stood vpon him, and slew him, because I was sure that hee could not liue after that hee was fallen: And I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and haue brought them hither vnto my lord.

¹¹ Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.

¹² And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntill Euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.

¹³ ¶ And Dauid said vnto the yong man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the sonne of a stranger, an Amalekite.

¹⁴ And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch foorth thine hand, to destroy the Lords Anointed?

¹⁵ And Dauid called one of the yong men, and sayd, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him, that hee dyed.

¹⁶ And Dauid said vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thy head: for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Annoynted.

¹⁷ ¶ And Dauid lamented with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne:

¹⁸ (Also hee bade them teach the children of Iudah the vse of the bow: behold, it is written in the booke of Iasher.)

¹⁹ The beauty of Israel is slaine vpon thy high places: how are the mightie fallen!

²⁰ Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streetes of Askelon: lest the daughters of the Philistines reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph.

²¹ Yee mountaines of Gilboa, let there bee no dewe, neither let there be raine vpon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mightie is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though hee had not beene annointed with oile.

²² From the blood of the slaine, from the fat of the mightie, the bow of Ionathan turned not backe, and the sword of Saul returned not emptie.

²³ Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their death they were not diuided: they were swifter then Eagles, they were stronger then Lions.

²⁴ Yee daughters of Israel, weepe ouer Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of golde vpon your apparell.

²⁵ How are the mightie fallen in the midst of the battell! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine high places.

²⁶ I am distressed for thee, my brother Ionathan, very pleasant hast thou beene vnto mee: thy loue to mee was wonderfull, passing the loue of women.

²⁷ How are the mightie fallen, and the weapons of warre perished!

Martha's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment about verse 26 on 5/16/2013, 7:39am...

I do not believe that David and Jonathan was gay because the bible says that this kind of relationship is a sin. I know that David had a great love for Jonathan a pure love of the heart like the love God has for us.

Martin moyo's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 1/15/2013, 2:33am...

This simply shows the importance of loving our enemies, as he did by not being pleased by what the young man did. LOVE YOUR ENEMY.

Elaine's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 12/18/2012, 8:00pm...

The love between David and Jonathan was pure, just as friends, why people have to black and white everything. Talking about homosexual read Leviticus 20:10-21. Remember that Jonathan had a son who was sick from a child and if you read 2 Samuel 9:1-13, you will see how David took care of him through the love he had for Jonathan; just love with no hidden agenda, read the word, study the word, and believe the word. Remember it will not return to him void but shall go forth for which it was sent. God loves you all or lean it is the things that we saw that he hates. Peace.

DZARMA EZRA's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 12/10/2012, 2:51am...

I perceive the kind of love that David and Jonathan had for each other, it was Christ kind of love that make someone to lay down his life for his friend, not homosexual lust. Homosexuality is sin before the Almighty God, if you are involved in it, repent and accept Jesus Christ.

@Gene GreccoStoliesSimile,
Sadly, it seems you are mistaken and taken by Satan and his lies! Please read Romans 1 and it very plainly states that gay and lesbians will NOT be in heaven! It is sin and you prefer to live in sin against Gods word, repent and get God’s blessings not His judgment against you!

Lillie's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 11/20/2012, 11:15am...

In this chapter I think of how wonderful and anointed David was to still love a man that wanted him dead. If many of us could have that anointing…

Renee's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 7/12/2012, 6:43am...

I always thought the reason the young man claimed to have killed Saul was beccause he thought it would cause hime to have favor with David. It was no secret that Saul had previously tried to kill David, so this young man thought if he took the credit for killing the person who appeared to be an enemy,this would possibly bring him great wealth.

Brenda's 2 Samuel Chapter 1 comment on 4/12/2012, 10:25pm...

I am confused as to why this young man said he killed Saul, when The Word states that Saul fell upon his sword and killed himself. How did he get Saul's crown and bracelet? Every time I read this I simply do not understand it. Why would someone claim to have taken the life of someone just to have their life taken?
