From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty. II Samuel 1:22
This is David's "Song of the bow" His funeral dirge over the death of Saul and Jonathan in battle. "Your beauty, O Israel, is slain on your high places! How have the mighty fallen!" David reminded the people of the blessings they enjoyed because of their sacrifices. Today on this Veteran's Day, may we all pause to remember that blessings come our way on the sacrifices of those who serve and have served.
