²³ Saul and Jonathan,
loved and delightful,
they were not parted in life or in death.
They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

²⁶ They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.^(A)

¹⁹ Those who chased us were swifter
than eagles in the sky;^(A)
they relentlessly pursued us over the mountains
and ambushed us in the wilderness.
