But "David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword."

Da tog David fat i sine klæder og sønderrev dem, og ligeså gjorde alle hans mænd; og de holdt klage, græd og fastede til aften over Saul og hans søn Jonatan og Herrens folk og Israels hus, fordi de var faldet for sværdet.
