and he ordered that the Judahites be taught The Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:

Jonathan’s bow never retreated,
Saul’s sword never returned unstained,
from the blood of the slain,
from the bodies of the mighty.

When a person approached to bow down to him, Absalom reached out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.

The king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!”

“I bow before you,” Ziba said. “May you look favorably on me, my lord the king!”

He trains my hands for war;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
