23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in [a]life,
And in their deaths they were not separated;
(A)They were swifter than eagles,
(B)They were mightier than lions.
24 Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
Who clothed you in scarlet, with jewelry,
Who put gold jewelry on your apparel.
25 (C)How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle!
Jonathan is [b]slaughtered on your high places.
