| 21 | Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. | Montagnes de Guilboa, que la rosée et la pluie ne tombent plus sur vous, qu'il n'y ait plus de champs dont on offre les prémices; car c'est là qu'a été jeté le bouclier des hommes forts, le bouclier de Saül, comme s'il n'eût pas été oint d'huile. | Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil. |
| 22 | From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. | L'arc de Jonathan ne revenait jamais sans être teint du sang des blessés et de la graisse des vaillants; et l'épée de Saül ne retournait pas sans effet. | From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty. |
| 23 | Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. | Saül et Jonathan, aimables et agréables 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. | Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions. |
| 24 | Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. | Filles d'Israël, pleurez sur Saül, qui vous revêtait d'écarlate, dans les délices; qui vous faisait porter des ornements d'or sur vos habits! | Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. |

Jonathan is slain upon thy high places. |
| 26 | I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. | Jonathan, mon frère, je suis dans la douleur à cause de toi. Tu faisais tout mon plaisir; l'amour que j'avais pour toi était plus grand que celui des femmes. | I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: Very pleasant hast thou been unto me: Thy love to me was wonderful, Passing the love of women. |
| 27 | How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! | Comment sont tombés les vaillants? Comment ont péris les armes de la guerre? | How are the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished! |
