2 Samuel 1:22

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.

Isaiah 13:18

13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; ² 

they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, ³ 

they will not ⁴  look with pity on children.

[1:22]  ¹ tn The Hebrew imperfect verbal form is used here to indicate repeated past action.

[13:18]  ² tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.

[13:18]  ³ tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”

[13:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
