23 “Saul and Jonathan, so wonderful and dear;together in life, together in death;swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 “Women of Israel, mourn for Saul!He clothed you in rich scarlet dressesand adorned you with jewels and gold.
25 “The brave soldiers have fallen,they were killed in battle.Jonathan lies dead in the hills.
26 “I grieve for you, my brother Jonathan;how dear you were to me!How wonderful was your love for me,better even than the love of women.
27 “The brave soldiers have fallen,their weapons abandoned and useless.”
