22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,
    the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
    and the sword of Saul did not return without effect.[a]

    and were not separated in their death.

    the one who clothed you with crimson,
    the one who adorned your clothing with golden ornaments.[b]
