22 Jonathan’s bow did not failto kill many soldiers.Saul’s sword did not failto wound many strong men.
23 “We loved Saul and Jonathanand enjoyed them while they lived.They are together even in death.They were faster than eagles.They were stronger than lions.
24 “You daughters of Israel, cry for Saul.Saul clothed you with red dressesand put gold decorations on them.
25 “How the mighty have fallen in battle!Jonathan is dead on Gilboa’s hills.
26 I cry for you, my brother Jonathan.I enjoyed your friendship so much.Your love to me was wonderful,better than the love of women.
27 “How the mighty have fallen!The weapons of war are gone.”
