MLV(i)
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18 (and he commanded them teach the sons of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19 Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your high places! How are the mighty fallen! 20 Do not tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21 You* mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain upon you*, neither fields of offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22 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. 23 Saul and Jonathan, men who were loved and pleasant, undivided; handsome in their lives and undivided in their death; swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 You* daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you* delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold upon your* apparel. 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon your high places.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women. 27 How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perished!
