2Samuel:1:17-27
lesserot@2Samuel:1:17 @ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
lesserot@2Samuel:1:18 @ And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:19 @ O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!
lesserot@2Samuel:1:20 @ Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:21 @ O mountains of Gilboa, no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:22 @ From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:23 @ Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:24 @ O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:25 @ How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.
lesserot@2Samuel:1:27 @ How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
