| 17 | And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son, | David's lament for Saul & Jonathan. 2Sm.1.17-27 | וַיְקֹןֵן דָּוִד אֶת־הַקִּינָה הַזֹּאת עַל־שָׁאוּל וְעַל־יְהֹונָתָן בְּנֹו׃ |
| 18 | and he said it should be taught to the people of Judah; behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar. He said: | וַיֹּאמֶר לְלַמֵּד בְּנֵי־יְהוּדָה קָשֶׁת הִנֵּה כְתוּבָה עַל־סֵפֶר הַיָּשָׁר׃ | |
| 19 | "Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your high places! How are the mighty fallen! | הַצְּבִי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־בָּמֹותֶיךָ חָלָל אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּורִים׃ | |
| 20 | Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult. | אַל־תַּגִּידוּ בְגַת אַל־תְּבַשְּׂרוּ בְּחוּצֹת אַשְׁקְלֹון פֶּן־תִּשְׂמַחְנָה בְּנֹות פְּלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן־תַּעֲלֹזְנָה בְּנֹות הָעֲרֵלִים׃ | |
| 21 | "Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, nor upsurging of the deep! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil. | הָרֵי בַגִּלְבֹּעַ אַל־טַל וְאַל־מָטָר עֲלֵיכֶם וּשְׂדֵי תְרוּמֹת כִּי שָׁם נִגְעַל מָגֵן גִּבֹּורִים מָגֵן שָׁאוּל בְּלִי מָשִׁיחַ בַּשָּׁמֶן׃ | |
| 22 | "From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. | מִדַּם חֲלָלִים מֵחֵלֶב גִּבֹּורִים קֶשֶׁת יְהֹונָתָן לֹא נָשֹׂוג אָחֹור וְחֶרֶב שָׁאוּל לֹא תָשׁוּב רֵיקָם׃ | |
| 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. | שָׁאוּל וִיהֹונָתָן הַנֶּאֱהָבִים וְהַנְּעִיםִם בְּחַיֵּיהֶם וּבְמֹותָם לֹא נִפְרָדוּ מִנְּשָׁרִים קַלּוּ מֵאֲרָיֹות גָּבֵרוּ׃ | |
| 24 | "Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you daintily in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. | בְּנֹות יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־שָׁאוּל בְּכֶינָה הַמַּלְבִּשְׁכֶם שָׁנִי עִם־עֲדָנִים הַמַּעֲלֶה עֲדִי זָהָב עַל לְבוּשְׁכֶן׃ | |
| 25 | "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! " Jonathan lies slain upon your high places. | אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּרִים בְּתֹוךְ הַמִּלְחָמָה יְהֹונָתָן עַל־בָּמֹותֶיךָ חָלָל׃ | |
| 26 | I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. | צַר־לִי עָלֶיךָ אָחִי יְהֹונָתָן נָעַמְתָּ לִּי מְאֹד נִפְלְאַתָה אַהֲבָתְךָ לִי מֵאַהֲבַת נָשִׁים׃ | |
| 27 | "How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!" | אֵיךְ נָפְלוּ גִבֹּורִים וַיֹּאבְדוּ כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָה׃ ף | |
