And in their adeath they were not divided;
They were swifter than eagles,
They were bstronger than lions.
Who clothed you in scarlet, with luxury;
Who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.
You have been very pleasant to me;
aYour love to me was wonderful,
Surpassing the love of women.
And the weapons of war perished!”

2 Samuel 1:24-27
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, etc.—The fondness for dress, which anciently distinguished Oriental women, is their characteristic still. It appears in their love of bright, gay, and divers colors, in profuse display of ornaments, and in various other forms. The inmost depths of the poet's feeling are stirred, and his amiable disposition appears in the strong desire to celebrate the good qualities of Saul, as well as Jonathan. But the praises of the latter form the burden of the poem, which begins and ends with that excellent prince.
