Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan ,
his son :
bbe @
2Samuel:1:18 @(
It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah )
and he said :
bbe @
2Samuel:1:19 @
The glory ,
O Israel ,
is dead on your high places !
How have the great ones been made low !
bbe @
2Samuel:1:20 @
Give no news of it in Gath ,
let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon ;
or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad ,
the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:21 @
O mountains of Gilboa ,
let there be no dew or rain on you ,
you fields of death :
for there the arms of the strong have been shamed ,
the arms of Saul ,
as if he had not been marked with the holy oil .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:22 @
From the blood of the dead ,
from the fat of the strong ,
the bow of Jonathan was not turned back ,
the sword of Saul did not come back unused .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:23 @
Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing ;
in their lives and in their death they were not parted ;
they went more quickly than eagles ,
they were stronger than lions .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:24 @
O daughters of Israel ,
have sorrow for Saul ,
by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red ,
with ornaments of gold on your dresses .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:25 @
How have the great ones been made low in the fight !
Jonathan is dead on your high places .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:26 @
I am full of grief for you ,
my brother Jonathan :
very dear have you been to me :
your love for me was a wonder ,
greater than the love of women .
bbe @
2Samuel:1:27 @
How have the great ones been made low ,
and the arms of war broken !
