2 Samuel 1:18-27

18and he told them to teach the sons of Judah, the song of the bow. Behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar:

19“Your glory and splendor, O Israel, is slain upon your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, The daughters of the uncircumcised (pagans) will exult.

21O mountains of Gilboa, Let not dew or rain be upon you, nor fields with offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, The shield of Saul, [dry, cracked] not anointed with oil.

22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return empty.

23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely and friends in their lives, And in their death they were not separated; They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

24O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, Who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

25How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.

26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been a good friend to me. Your love toward me was more wonderful Than the love of women.

27How the mighty have fallen, And the weapons of war have perished!”
