2 Samuel 1:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ You mountains of Gilboa, may no dew or rain fall on you.
May your fields produce no special offerings.^[a]
For there the shield of the mighty was desecrated.
The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

²² From the blood of the slain,
from the fat^[b] of the mighty warriors,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
and the sword of Saul never returned empty.

²³ Saul and Jonathan were the most loved and admired during their lives,
and in their deaths they were not separated.
They were swifter than eagles.
They were stronger than lions.
