2 Samuel 1:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 1
21 Montagnes de Guilboa! Qu’il n’y ait sur vous ni rosée ni pluie, Ni champs qui donnent des prémices pour les offrandes! Car là ont été jetés les boucliers des héros, Le bouclier de Saül; L’huile a cessé de les oindre.
22 Devant le sang des blessés, devant la graisse des plus vaillants, L’arc de Jonathan n’a jamais reculé, Et l’épée de Saül ne retournait point à vide.
23 Saül et Jonathan, aimables et chéris pendant leur vie, N’ont point été séparés dans leur mort; Ils étaient plus légers que les aigles, Ils étaient plus forts que les lions.
24 Filles d’Israël! Pleurez sur Saül, Qui vous revêtait magnifiquement de cramoisi, Qui mettait des ornements d’or sur vos habits.
25 Comment des héros sont-ils tombés au milieu du combat? Comment Jonathan a-t-il succombé sur tes collines?
