2 Samuel 1:17And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;2 Samuel 1:19The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places is wounded; How have the mighty fallen!2 Samuel 1:20Declare it not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the Uncircumcised!2 Samuel 1:21Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the anointed with oil.2 Samuel 1:22From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.2 Samuel 1:23Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!2 Samuel 1:24Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you in scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.2 Samuel 1:25How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan! on thy high places wounded!2 Samuel 1:26I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above the love of women!2 Samuel 1:27How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war perish!’2 Samuel 3:33and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith:—‘As the death of a fool doth Abner die?2 Samuel 3:34Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil—Thou hast fallen!’ and all the people add to weep over him.
