    20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

    21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is disdainfully cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.

    22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

    23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

    24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

    25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.

    26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been to me: your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
