2 Samuel 1:24-27

1:24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,

who clothed you in scarlet ¹  as well as jewelry,

who put gold jewelry on your clothes.

1:25 How the warriors have fallen

in the midst of battle!

Jonathan lies slain on your high places!

1:26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan!

You were very dear to me.

Your love was more special to me than the love of women.

1:27 How the warriors have fallen!

The weapons of war ²  are destroyed!

[1:24]  ¹ sn Clothing of scarlet was expensive and beyond the financial reach of most people.

[1:27]  ² sn The expression weapons of war may here be a figurative way of referring to Saul and Jonathan.
