2 Samuel 1:22-27

²²“From the blood of the slain,

from the fat of the mighty,

ythe bow of Jonathan turned not back,

and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

²³“Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely!

In life and in death they were not divided;

they were zswifter than eagles;

they were astronger than lions.

²⁴“You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,

who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet,

bwho put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

²⁵c“How the mighty have fallen

in the midst of the battle!

“Jonathan lies slain on your high places.

²⁶I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;

very pleasant have you been to me;

dyour love to me was extraordinary,

surpassing the love of women.

²⁷c“How the mighty have fallen,

and the weapons of war perished!”
