2Samuel:1:17-27
web@2Samuel:1:17 @David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
web@2Samuel:1:18 @(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
web@2Samuel:1:19 @"Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
web@2Samuel:1:20 @Don't tell it in Gath. Don't publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
web@2Samuel:1:21 @You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
web@2Samuel:1:22 @From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow didn't turn back. Saul's sword didn't return empty.
web@2Samuel:1:23 @Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
web@2Samuel:1:24 @You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
web@2Samuel:1:25 @How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.
web@2Samuel:1:26 @I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
web@2Samuel:1:27 @How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!"
