18and he toldH559 them to teachH3925 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 the mourning song of the bowH7198; beholdH2009, it is writtenH3789 in 1the BookH5612 of JasharH3477.19“2Your beautyH6643, IsraelH3478, is 3slaughteredH2491 on your highH1116 placesH1116! 4HowH349 the mightyH1368 have fallenH5307!205TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, ProclaimH1319 it not in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831, OrH6435 6the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 will rejoiceH8055, The daughtersH1323 of 7the uncircumcisedH6189 will celebrateH5937.218MountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, 9May there be noH408 dewH2919 norH408 rainH4306 on you, or fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641! For thereH8033 the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was defiledH1602, The shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, not 10anointedH4899 with oilH8081.2211From the bloodH1818 of those 12slaughteredH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, 13The bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 did not turnH5472 backH268, And the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 did not returnH7725 14unstainedH7387.23SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083, belovedH157 and delightfulH5273 in 15lifeH2425, And in their deathsH4194 they were not separatedH6504; 16They wereH7043 swifterH7043 thanH4480 eaglesH5404, 17They were mightierH1396 thanH4480 lionsH738.24DaughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weepH1058 overH413 SaulH7586, Who clothedH3847 you in scarletH8144, with jewelryH5730, Who putH5927 goldH2091 jewelryH5716 on your apparelH3830.2518HowH349 the mightyH1368 have fallenH5307 in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! JonathanH3083 is 19slaughteredH2491 on your highH1116 placesH1116.26I amH6887 distressedH6887 for you, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083; You have beenH5276 20aH5276 closeH3966 friendH5276 to me. 21Your loveH160 for me wasH6381 moreH4480 wonderfulH6381 ThanH4480 the loveH160 of womenH802.2722HowH349 the mightyH1368 have fallenH5307, And 23the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 have perishedH6!”
