2 Samuel 1:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ O Mount Gilboa,

Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,

Let no crops of grain grow on your slopes.^[a]

For there the mighty Saul has died;

He is God’s appointed king no more.

²² Both Saul and Jonathan slew their strongest foes,

And did not return from battle empty-handed.

²³ How much they were loved, how wonderful they were—

Both Saul and Jonathan!

They were together in life and in death.

They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
