2Samuel:1:17-27
wbs@2Samuel:1:17 @ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son:
wbs@2Samuel:1:18 @ (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
wbs@2Samuel:1:19 @ The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
wbs@2Samuel:1:20 @ Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
wbs@2Samuel:1:21 @ Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither rain upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
wbs@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.
wbs@2Samuel:1:23 @ Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
wbs@2Samuel:1:24 @ Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
wbs@2Samuel:1:25 @ How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan thou wast slain in thy high places.
wbs@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
wbs@2Samuel:1:27 @ How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
