2 Samuel 1:19-24

19Thy glory, O IsraelH3478, is slainH2491 uponH5921 thy highH1116 placesH1116! howH349 are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307!

20TellH5046 it notH408 in GathH1661, publish it notH408 in the streetsH2351 of AshkelonH831; lestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, lestH6435 the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumph.

21Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, letH408 there be noH408 dewH2919 norH408 rainH4306 uponH5921 youH3588, neitherH408 fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641: for there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 was vilely cast away, the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, notH408 anointedH4899 with oilH8081.

22From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7725 notH3808 backH7725, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 notH3808 emptyH7387.

23SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovely and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were notH3808 dividedH6504; they were swifterH7043 thanH3808 eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 thanH3808 lionsH738.

24Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weepH1058 over SaulH7586, who clothedH3847 youH5921 in scarletH8144 delicately, who putH3847 ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 uponH5921 your apparelH3830.
