2 Samuel 1:19-27
19“1Your beauty, Israel, is 2slaughtered on your high places! 3How the mighty have 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 celebrate.217Mountains of Gilboa, 8May 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 9anointed with oil.2210From the blood of those 11slaughtered, from the fat of the mighty, 12The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return 13unstained.23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in 14life, And in their deaths they were not separated; 15They were swifter than eagles, 16They were mightier than lions.24Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet, with jewelry, Who put gold jewelry on your apparel.2517How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is 18slaughtered on your high places.26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been 19a close friend to me. 20Your love for me was more wonderful Than the love of women.2721How the mighty have fallen, And 22the weapons of war have perished!”
