2 Samuel 1:24-27
New English Translation

24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet[a] as well as jewelry,
who put gold jewelry on your clothes.
25 How the warriors have fallen
in the midst of battle!
Jonathan lies slain on your high places!
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan.
You were very dear to me.
Your love was more special to me than the love of women.
27 How the warriors have fallen!
The weapons of war[b] are destroyed!
