2 Samuel 1:23
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.
KJV
Saul et Jonathas amabiles, et decori in vita sua, in morte quoque non sunt divisi : aquilis velociores, leonibus fortiores.
Vulgate
Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωναθάν, οἱ ἠγαπημένοι καὶ ὡραῖοι, οὐ διακεχωρισμένοι· εὐπρεπεῖς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν οὐ διεχωρίσθησαν. ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς κοῦφοι, καὶ ὑπὲρ λέοντας ἐκραταιώθησαν.
LXX
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.
