Text -- 2 Samuel 1:22-27 (NET)

Strongs On/Off

Context

1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of warriors, the bow of Jonathan was not turned away. The sword of Saul never returned empty. 1:23 Saul and Jonathan were greatly loved during their lives, and not even in their deaths were they separated. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions. 1:24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewelry, who put gold jewelry on your clothes. 1:25 How the warriors have fallen in the midst of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your high places! 1:26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan! You were very dear to me. Your love was more special to me than the love of women. 1:27 How the warriors have fallen! The weapons of war are destroyed!
