2 Samuel 1:23-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. Saul and Jonathan,beloved and delightful,neither in life nor death will they be separated.They were swifter than eagles,they were stronger than lions.

24. O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,who clothed you in scarlet and jewels,who adorned your garments with gold jewelry.

25. How the mighty ones have fallen in the midst of battle!Jonathan was slain on your high places.

26. I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;you were very dear to me;your love was more remarkable than the love of women.

27. How the mighty have fallen,and the weapons of war have perished.
