2 Samuel 1:21-23
Legacy Standard Bible
21 (A)O mountains of Gilboa,
(B)Let not dew or rain be on you, nor fields of offerings;
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
The shield of Saul, not (C)anointed with oil.
22 (D)From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,
(E)The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life,
And in their death they were not separated;
(F)They were swifter than eagles,
(G)They were mightier than lions.
2 Samuel 1:21-23
New International Version
21 “Mountains of Gilboa,(A)
may you have neither dew(B) nor rain,(C)
may no showers fall on your terraced fields.[a](D)
For there the shield of the mighty was despised,
the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with oil.(E)
22 “From the blood(F) of the slain,
from the flesh of the mighty,
the bow(G) of Jonathan did not turn back,
the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
23 Saul and Jonathan—
in life they were loved and admired,
and in death they were not parted.
They were swifter than eagles,(H)
they were stronger than lions.(I)
