2 Samuel 1:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ You hills of Gilboa!
    Let there be no dew or rain on you,
    and no fields yielding grain offerings.^[a]
Because it was there that the mighty warrior’s^[b] shield was defiled—
    the shield of Saul!—never again anointed with oil.
²² Jonathan’s bow never wavered from the blood of the slain,
    from the gore of the warriors.
        Never did Saul’s sword return empty.
²³ Saul and Jonathan! So well loved, so dearly cherished!
    In their lives and in their deaths they were never separated.
They were faster than eagles,
    stronger than lions!
