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 1the book of Jashar.19“2Your beauty, O Israel, is slain on your high places! 3How have the mighty fallen!204Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Or 5the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, The daughters of 6the uncircumcised will exult.217O mountains of Gilboa, 8Let not dew or rain be on you, nor fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, The shield of Saul, not 9anointed with oil.2210From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, 11The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return empty.23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life, And in their death they were not parted; 12They were swifter than eagles, 13They 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.2514How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. 15Your love to me was more wonderful Than the love of women.2716How have the mighty fallen, And 17the weapons of war perished!”
