2 Samuel 1:18-27

18and he bade them teachH3925 the children of JudahH3063 [the song of] the bowH7198. Behold, it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of Jasher: — 19The beauty of IsraelH3478 is slainH2491 upon thy highH1116 placesH1116: howH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307! 20TellH5046 [it] not in GathH1661, carry not the tidings in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831; LestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, LestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumph. 21Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, let there be no dewH2919, no rainH4306 upon you, nor fieldsH7704 of heave-offerings! For there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was vilely cast away, The shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, [as] not anointedH4899 with oilH8081. 22From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, The bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7725 not backH7725, And the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 not emptyH7387. 23SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083, beloved and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, Even in their deathH4194 were not divided; They were swifter than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 than lionsH738. 24Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weepH1058 over SaulH7586, who clothedH3847 you in scarletH8144 with splendour, Who putH3847 ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 upon your apparel. 25HowH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307 in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! JonathanH3083 is slainH2491 upon thy highH1116 placesH1116. 26I am distressed for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276 wast thou unto me; Thy loveH160 to me was wonderfulH6381, passing women's loveH160. 27HowH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307, and the instrumentsH3627 of warH4421 perishedH6!
