Very moving.  For those not conversant with Hebrew, the verse says, "The 
beauty of  Israel is slain in the high places."  It is David's mourning 
psalm for Saul and Jonathan.

But, interestingly, I think that it is actually 2 Samuel 1:19, not 1:18. 
Would the versification have been different then, or in that place?

Thank you for sharing this photo.
