2Samuel:1:17-27
bbe@2Samuel:1:17 @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!
