ylt @2Samuel:1:17 @And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul , and over Jonathan his son ; ylt @2Samuel:1:18 @and he saith to teach the sons of Judah 'The Bow ;' lo , it is written on the book of the Upright : -- ylt @2Samuel:1:19 @'The Roebuck , O Israel , On thy high places [is ] wounded ; How have the mighty fallen ! ylt @2Samuel:1:20 @Declare [it ] not in Gath , Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon , Lest they rejoice -- The daughters of the Philistines , Lest they exult -- The daughters of the Uncircumcised ! ylt @2Samuel:1:21 @Mountains of Gilboa ! No dew nor rain be on you , And fields of heave-offerings ! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty , The shield of Saul -- without the anointed with oil . ylt @2Samuel:1:22 @From the blood of the wounded , From the fat of the mighty , The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward ; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty . ylt @2Samuel:1:23 @Saul and Jonathan ! They are loved and pleasant in their lives , And in their death they have not been parted . Than eagles they have been lighter , Than lions they have been mightier ! ylt @2Samuel:1:24 @Daughters of Israel ! for Saul weep ye , Who is clothing you [in ] scarlet with delights . Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing . ylt @2Samuel:1:25 @How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle ! Jonathan ! on thy high places wounded ! ylt @2Samuel:1:26 @I am in distress for thee , my brother Jonathan , Very pleasant wast thou to me ; Wonderful was thy love to me , Above the love of women ! ylt @2Samuel:1:27 @How have the mighty fallen , Yea , the weapons of war perish !'
