2 Samuel 1:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ “May no rain or dew fall on Gilboa's hills;
    may its fields be always barren!
For the shields of the brave lie there in disgrace;
    the shield of Saul is no longer polished with oil.
²² Jonathan's bow was deadly,
    the sword of Saul was merciless,
    striking down the mighty, killing the enemy.

²³ “Saul and Jonathan, so wonderful and dear;
    together in life, together in death;
    swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
