2 Samuel 1:19

²⁷How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”

²⁵How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.

⁷For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him? ⁸What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?

¹⁶The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

¹⁰I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

⁸On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

²In that day, the LORD’s branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.

¹How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

²³Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

⁷So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
