16 Y David le dijo: Tu sangre sea sobre tu cabeza, pues que tu boca atestiguó contra ti, diciendo: Yo maté al ungido de Jehová.

17 Y endechó David á Saúl y á Jonathán su hijo con esta endecha.

18 (Dijo también que enseñasen al arco á los hijos de Judá. He aquí que está escrito en el libro del derecho:)

19 ¡Perecido ha la gloria de Israel sobre tus montañas! ¡Cómo han caído los valientes!

20 No lo denunciéis en Gath, no deis las nuevas en las plazas de Ascalón; porque no se alegren las hijas de los Filisteos, porque no salten de gozo las hijas de los incircuncisos.
