2 Samuel 1:24-27 King James Version (KJV)
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.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O
Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine 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.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
2 Samuel 1:24-27 New Life Version (NLV)
24 O daughters of Israel, cry for Saul. He dressed you in fine
red clothing. He put on your clothing objects of gold. 25 How
have the powerful fallen in the center of the battle! Jonathan
has been killed on your high places. 26 I am troubled because of
you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasing to me.
Your love to me was greater than the love of women.27 How have
the powerful fallen, and the bows and swords of war destroyed!”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
24 The daughters refer to the women of Israel. Red dresses was a
special most clothes were plain and did not have much color
because dying clothes took much time and money. Gold is as
special then as it is today and woman liked having gold on as
they do today.
25-26 Jonathan was a great solider. Jonathan was close to David
and he was also close to his father Saul. Now Jonathan had died
this would hurt David. It is likely that David was closer to
Jonathan then his own brothers David and him made a covenant
together even after Samuel anointed David as the next king we
don’t see his brothers doing this or even treating him any
different than they had before. To have a close friend is
something we all need. Jonathan was someone David could trust,
but David’s most trusted was the Lord.
27 Their weapons were taken away and they had died, death will
come to us but not all fall in tragedy in war, we should
appreciate those that do.
