23 Saul and Jonʹa·than,+ beloved and cherished* during their life,

And in death they were not separated.+

Swifter than the eagles they were,+

Mightier than the lions.+

“Just as the lion growls, a strong young lion,* over its prey,

When a whole group of shepherds is called together against it,

And it is not terrified by their voice

Or daunted by their commotion,

So will Jehovah of armies come down to wage war

Over Mount Zion and over her hill.
