And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: (1:17)

(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the use of] the bow: behold, [it is] written in the book of Jasher.) (1:18)

The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! (1:19)

Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. (1:20)

Ye 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 vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, [as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil. (1:21)

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. (1:22)

Saul 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. (1:23)

Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with [other] delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. (1:24)

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, [thou wast] slain in thine high places. (1:25)

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. (1:26)

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! (1:27)
