21 You mountains in Gilboa, may there be no dew or rain on you or on your slopes, because warriors' shields were tarnished there. Saul's shield was never rubbed with olive oil. 22 From the blood of those killed and the fat of the warriors, Jonathan's bow did not turn away, nor did Saul's sword return unused. 23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and well-liked while they were living. They were not separated even when they died. They were swifter than eagles and stronger than lions. 24 Daughters of Israel, cry over Saul, who dressed you in decorated, red clothes, who put gold jewelry on your clothes. 25 See how the mighty have fallen in battle! On your hills Jonathan was killed! 2 Samuel 1:21-25, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
