David publicly mourns the loss of King Saul and Jonathan. Despite Saul's cruelty to Davide he freely forgives and exalts the King and morns his loss and the loss of his dear friend Jonathan. Jonathan and David shared a friendship and bond that was deeper that of a wife or even a blood brother. He refers to them 3 times as the mighty who have fallen in battle. This public morning was an important step of leadership to show there was no animus in David's heart toward Saul.
