24 Women of Israel, cry for Saul.
He brought you fine red cloth
    and jewelry made of gold.
25 Our warriors have fallen
    in the heat of battle,
and Jonathan lies dead
    on the hills of Gilboa.

26 Jonathan, I miss you most!
I loved you
    like a brother.
You were truly loyal to me,
more faithful than a wife
    to her husband.[a]
