2 Samuel 1:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 Samuel 1:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat[a] of the mighty warriors,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
and the sword of Saul never returned empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan were the most loved and admired during their lives,
and in their deaths they were not separated.
They were swifter than eagles.
They were stronger than lions.
24 Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul.
He clothed you in scarlet and luxury.
He provided gold ornaments for your clothing.
