23 Saul and Jonathan! So well loved, so dearly cherished!
    In their lives and in their deaths they were never separated.
They were faster than eagles,
    stronger than lions!
24 Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul!

    he decorated your clothes with gold jewelry.
25 Look how the mighty warriors have fallen in the midst of battle!
    Jonathan lies dead on your heights.
