 63The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
 64Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

 68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
 69And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
 70He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
 71From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

 2And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
 3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
 4Then said Saul unto his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
