2 Samuel 1:11-12

1:11 David then grabbed his own clothes and tore them, as did all the men who were with him. 1:12 They lamented and wept and fasted until evening because Saul, his son Jonathan, the Lord’s people, and the house of Israel had fallen by the sword.

2 Samuel 1:17

1:17 Then David chanted this lament over Saul and his son Jonathan.
