24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?'
