“Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives.In their death, they were not divided.They were swifter than eagles.They were stronger than lions.”
2 Samuel 1:23 (WEB)
Context Reading
21You mountains of Gilboa,let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings;for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away,the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil. 22From the blood of the slain,from the fat of the mighty,Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back.Saul’s sword didn’t return empty. 23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives.In their death, they were not divided.They were swifter than eagles.They were stronger than lions. 24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,who clothed you delicately in scarlet,who put ornaments of gold on your clothing. 25How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle!Jonathan was slain on your high places.
