2 Samuel 1:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 1
21 Montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sejais terras de ofertas; Porque ali foi rejeitado o escudo dos valentes, O escudo de Saul, como se não houvesse sido ungido com azeite.
22 Do sangue de mortos, da gordura de valentes, o arco de Jônatas nunca retrocedeu, nem a espada de Saul voltou vazia.
23 Saul e Jônatas, amados e queridos em sua vida, Em sua morte tampouco foram separados: Mais ligeiros que águas, Mais fortes que leões.
24 Filhas de Israel, chorai sobre Saul, Que vos vestia de escarlata em regozijo, Que adornava vossas roupas com ornamentos de ouro.
25 Como caíram os valentes em meio da batalha! Jônatas, morto em tuas alturas!
