2 Samuel 1:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Women of Israel, cry for Saul.
He brought you fine red cloth
    and jewelry made of gold.
²⁵ Our warriors have fallen
    in the heat of battle,
and Jonathan lies dead
    on the hills of Gilboa.

²⁶ Jonathan, I miss you most!
I loved you
    like a brother.
You were truly loyal to me,
more faithful than a wife
    to her husband.^[a]
