As I happened . The story of this young man appears to be wholly a fiction , formed for the purpose of ingratiating himself with David , as the next probable successor to the crown. There is no fact in the case , except for the bringing of the diadem and bracelets of Saul , as a sufficient evidence of his death , which , as he appears to been a plunderer of the slain , he seems to have stripped from the dead body of the unfortunate monarch It is remarkable , that Saul , who had forfeited his crown by his disobedience and ill-timed clemency with respect to the Amalekites , should now have the insignia of royalty stripped from his person by one of those very people.

bracelet . This was probably worn as an ensign of royalty , as is frequently the case in the East. When the Khalif Cayem Bemrillah granted the investiture of certain dominions to an Eastern prince , the ceremony was performed by sending him letters patent , a crown , chain , and bracelets. The bracelet , says Mr. Morier , are ornaments fastened above the elbows , composed of precious stones of great value , and are only worn by the king and his sons.
