23 Saul and Jonathan, loved and delightful,
parted neither in life nor death.
They were swifter than eagles,
    stronger than lions.
24 Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,

    who put ornaments of gold on your clothes.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle!
Jonathan on your heights is slain!
