20. Don't tell it in Gathor spread the newsin the streets of Ashkelon.The godless Philistine womenwill be happyand jump for joy.
21. Don't let dew or rain fallon the hills of Gilboa.Don't let its fieldsgrow offerings for God.There the warriors' shieldswere smeared with mud,and Saul's own shieldwas left unpolished.
22. The arrows of Jonathan struck,and warriors died.The sword of Saul cutthe enemy apart.
23. It was easy to love Sauland Jonathan.Together in life,together in death,they were faster than eaglesand stronger than lions.
24. Women of Israel, cry for Saul.He brought you fine red clothand jewellery made of gold.
25. Our warriors have fallenin the heat of battle,and Jonathan lies deadon the hills of Gilboa.
26. Jonathan, I miss you most!I loved youlike a brother.You were truly loyal to me,more faithful than a wifeto her husband.
27. Our warriors have fallen,and their weaponsare destroyed.
