2 Samuel 1:21-23

New International Version - UK

²¹ ‘Mountains of Gilboa,
    may you have neither dew nor rain,
    may no showers fall on your terraced fields.^[a]
For there the shield of the mighty was despised,
    the shield of Saul – no longer rubbed with oil.

²² ‘From the blood of the slain,
    from the flesh of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
    the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
²³ Saul and Jonathan –
    in life they were loved and admired,
    and in death they were not parted.
They were swifter than eagles,
    they were stronger than lions.
