2 Samuel 1:21-23

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ “Ye mountains of Gilbo′a,
    let there be no dew or rain upon you,
    nor upsurging of the deep!^[a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
    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, beloved and lovely!
    In life and in death they were not divided;
they were swifter than eagles,
    they were stronger than lions.
