dby - 2Samuel:1:17-27

dby@2Samuel:1:17 @ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;

dby@2Samuel:1:18 @ and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: --

dby@2Samuel:1:19 @ The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

dby@2Samuel:1:20 @ Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

dby@2Samuel:1:21 @ Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.

dby@2Samuel:1:22 @ From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.

dby@2Samuel:1:23 @ Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

dby@2Samuel:1:24 @ Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

dby@2Samuel:1:25 @ How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.

dby@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.

dby@2Samuel:1:27 @ How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
