Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 were lovely H157 and pleasant H5273 in their lives, H2416 and in their death H4194 they were not divided: H6504 they were swifter H7043 than eagles, H5404 they were stronger H1396 than lions. H738

For what H4310 nation H1471 is there so great, H1419 who H834 has God H430 so near H7126 to them, as the LORD H3068 our God H430 is in all H3605 things that we call H7121 on him for?

And what H4310 nation H1471 is there so great, H1419 that has statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 so righteous H6662 as all H3605 this H2063 law, H8451 which H834 I set H5414 before H6440 you this day? H3117

And it came H1961 to pass on the morrow, H4283 when the Philistines H6430 came H935 to strip H6584 the slain, H2491 that they found H4672 Saul H7586 and his three H7969 sons H1121 fallen H5307 in mount H2022 Gilboa. H1533

In that day H3117 shall the branch H6780 of the LORD H3068 be beautiful H6643 and glorious, H3519 and the fruit H6529 of the earth H776 shall be excellent H1347 and comely H8597 for them that are escaped H6413 of Israel. H3478

For he shall grow H5927 up before H6440 him as a tender H3126 plant, and as a root H8328 out of a dry H6723 ground: H776 he has no H3808 form H8389 nor H3808 comeliness; H1926 and when we shall see H7200 him, there is no H3808 beauty H4758 that we should desire H2530 him.

How H349 has the LORD H136 covered H5743 the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 with a cloud H5743 in his anger, H639 and cast H7993 down from heaven H8064 to the earth H776 the beauty H8597 of Israel, H3478 and remembered H2142 not his footstool H1916 H7272 in the day H3117 of his anger! H639

And I will feed H7462 the flock H6629 of slaughter, H2028 even H3651 you, O poor H6041 of the flock. H6629 And I took H3947 to me two H8147 staves; H4731 the one H259 I called H7121 Beauty, H5278 and the other H259 I called H7121 Bands; H2256 and I fed H7462 the flock. H6629

And I took H3947 my staff, H4731 even H853 Beauty, H5278 and cut H1438 it asunder, that I might break H6565 my covenant H1285 which H834 I had made H3772 with all H3605 the people. H5971

How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 in the middle H8432 of the battle! H4421 O Jonathan, H3083 you were slain H2491 in your high H1116 places.

How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen, H5307 and the weapons H3627 of war H4421 perished! H6

The crown H5850 is fallen H5307 from our head: H7218 woe H188 to us, that we have sinned! H2398
