2 Samuel 1:22-23

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 ¹  empty.

1:23 Saul and Jonathan were greatly loved ²  during their lives,

and not even in their deaths were they separated.

They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
