David’s Lament for Saul and Jonathan

17 Then David (A)chanted with this funeral lament over Saul and Jonathan his son, 18 and he told them to teach the sons of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in (B)the book of Jashar.

19 [a]Your beauty, O Israel, is slain on your high places!
(C)How have the mighty fallen!
20 (D)Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
Lest (E)the daughters of the Philistines be glad,
Lest the daughters of (F)the uncircumcised exult.
21 (G)O mountains of Gilboa,
(H)Let not dew or rain be on you, nor fields of offerings;
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
The shield of Saul, not (I)anointed with oil.
22 (J)From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,
(K)The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life,
And in their death they were not separated;
(L)They were swifter than eagles,
(M)They were mightier than lions.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
Who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet,
Who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 (N)How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!
Jonathan is slain on your high places.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
You have been very pleasant to me.
(O)Your love to me was more wonderful
Than the love of women.
27 (P)How have the mighty fallen,
And (Q)the weapons of war perished!”

David Laments Jonathan with the “Song of the Bow”

17 Then David sang this funeral song over Saul and over Jonathan his son. 18 And he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Judah. Look, it is written on the scroll of Jashar.[a]

19 “The glory of Israel is on your high places; how the mighty have fallen!
20 Do not tell it in Gath; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon,
    lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
    lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you
    or on the fields of grain for offerings,
    for there the small shield of the mighty was defiled,
    the small shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 From 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 without effect.[b]
23 Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives
    and were not separated in their death.
    They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
    the one who clothed you with crimson,
    the one who adorned your clothing with golden ornaments.[c]
25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle;
    Jonathan lies slain on your high places.
26 I am distressed[d] over you, my brother Jonathan.
    you were very dear to me;
    your love was more wonderful to me than the love of women.
27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of warfare perished.”
