2 Samuel 1:21-23

New Living Translation

²¹ O mountains of Gilboa,
    let there be no dew or rain upon you,
    nor fruitful fields producing offerings of grain.^[a]
For there the shield of the mighty heroes was defiled;
    the shield of Saul will no longer be anointed with oil.
²² The bow of Jonathan was powerful,
    and the sword of Saul did its mighty work.
They shed the blood of their enemies
    and pierced the bodies of mighty heroes.

²³ How beloved and gracious were Saul and Jonathan!
    They were together in life and in death.
They were swifter than eagles,
    stronger than lions.
