David mourns the death of King Saul and Jonathan:
and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed Saul, according to the command of the Lord God, Saul became the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul was reigning, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David to reign as king. David was from the tribe of Judah, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Levi was Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son. Sometime after David was anointed, David began serving as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, and made a covenant with Jonathan, Saul's son. After the Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, Saul was angry and wanted to kill David, and wanted David to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's youngest daughter Michal became David's wife and helped David escape from their home. A multitude of men gathered to David. Eventually, David, his wives Abigail and Ahinoam, and David's men and their families began living in Ziklag, a Philistine city given to David by Philistine King Achish. When Achish and other Philistine kings and their armies were on a mission to battle Saul and his army, David and his men were with Achish. The Philistine officials did not want David and his men with them and told Achish to send David and his men back to Ziklag. Thus, David and his men were not on the battlefield when the Philistines killed Jonathan and Jonathan's brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui), and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield. Sometime thereafter, Israelite men from Jabesh-gilead went to Beth-shan (Beth-shean), and retrieved the bodies of Saul and Saul's sons, and burned their corpses and buried their bones. After men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David, he began to reign in Hebron only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelites tribes. After Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed David, and 37-year-old David began to reign in the City of David over all of the Israelite tribes. Michal was brought to David after being taken from Phalti (Palti/Paltiel), her husband. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11;43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
