2 Samuel 1:21-23

The Voice

²¹     Mountains of Gilboa, let no rain or dew water you;
        may your mountain fields offer only dust.
    The shield of the mighty was defiled with your enemy’s blood;
        even the shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil by the Eternal.
²²     With the blood of the slain
        and with the fat of the strong,
    Jonathan’s bow never lost aim;
        Saul’s sword never came back empty.
²³     Saul and Jonathan were beloved and delightful,
        always together in life and now in death.
    They were faster than eagles;
        they were mightier than lions.
