22 (A)From the blood of those [a]slaughtered, from the fat of the mighty,
(B)The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return [b]unstained.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in [c]life,
And in their deaths they were not separated;
(C)They were swifter than eagles,
(D)They were mightier than lions.
24 Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
Who clothed you in scarlet, with jewelry,
Who put gold jewelry on your apparel.
