  • 2 Sam 1:17-27 : 17 David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan: 18 He ordered that the people of Judah be taught this lament of the bow, as it is written in the Book of Jashar: 19 Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen! 20 Do not tell it in Gath, do not announce it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult. 21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, nor fields of offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled—the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil. 22 From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty. 23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely, in life and in death they were not divided.
