David’s Lament for Saul and Jonathan - 2 Samuel 1-3

Saul and Jonathan Are Dead

[14] Then David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to send forth your hand to destroy the anointed of Yahweh?" 

[2Sa 1:14 LSB]

[8] With him I speak mouth to mouth, Indeed clearly, and not in riddles, And he beholds the form of Yahweh. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?" 

[Num 12:8 LSB]

David’s Lament for Saul and Jonathan

[26] "I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was more wonderful Than the love of women. 

[2Sa 1:26 LSB]

[1] Now it happened when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 

[1Sa 18:1 LSB]

David Anointed King of Judah

Ish-bosheth Made King over Israel

Abner Defeated Before David

The House of David Strengthened

Abner Cuts a Covenant with David

Joab Strikes Abner

[39] "Thus I am weak today, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too difficult for me. May Yahweh repay the evildoer according to his evil." 

[2Sa 3:39 LSB]
