2 Samuel 1:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain upon you,
nor bounteous fields![a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, anointed with oil no more.
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
nor the sword of Saul return empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely!
In life and in death they were not divided;
they were swifter than eagles,
they were stronger than lions.
