22. Jonathan’s bow never retreated,Saul’s sword never returned unstained, from the blood of the slain,from the bodies of the mighty.
23. Saul and Jonathan,loved and delightful,they were not parted in life or in death.They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24. Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul,who clothed you in scarlet, with luxurious things,who decked your garments with gold ornaments.
25. How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle!Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
26. I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother.You were such a friend to me.Your love for me was more wonderfulthan the love of women.
27. How the mighty have fallenand the weapons of war have perished!
