2 Samuel 1:19-27

19The beauty of Israel lies slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20Don’t report it in Gath, don’t spread the news in the streets of Ashkelon, or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, the daughters of the uncircumcised will celebrate!

21O mountains of Gilboa, may there be no dew or rain on you, nor fields of grain offerings! For it was there that the shield of warriors was defiled; the shield of Saul lies neglected without oil.

22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of warriors, the bow of Jonathan was not turned away. The sword of Saul never returned empty.

23Saul and Jonathan were greatly loved during their lives, and not even in their deaths were they separated. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

24O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewelry, who put gold jewelry on your clothes.

25How the warriors have fallen in the midst of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your high places!

26I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan! You were very dear to me. Your love was more special to me than the love of women.

27How the warriors have fallen! The weapons of war are destroyed!
