2 Samuel 1:17-27

17Then David 1sang this song of mourning over Saul and his son Jonathan, 18and he told them to teach the sons of Judah the mourning song of the bow; behold, it is written in 2the Book of Jashar.19“3Your beauty, Israel, is 4slaughtered on your high places! 5How the mighty have fallen!206Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Or 7the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, The daughters of 8the uncircumcised will celebrate.219Mountains of Gilboa, 10May there be no dew nor rain on you, or fields of offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, The shield of Saul, not 11anointed with oil.2212From the blood of those 13slaughtered, from the fat of the mighty, 14The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return 15unstained.23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in 16life, And in their deaths they were not separated; 17They were swifter than eagles, 18They were mightier than lions.24Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet, with jewelry, Who put gold jewelry on your apparel.2519How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is 20slaughtered on your high places.26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been 21a close friend to me. 22Your love for me was more wonderful Than the love of women.2723How the mighty have fallen, And 24the weapons of war have perished!”
