Shir LeYehonatan

Will Jonathan die who did this great event
for the people of Israel.

God forbid that one hair on his head should fall
Because he did this for God on this day
And the nation redeemed Jonathan and he did not die.

How could it be that this hero
That saved the people of Israel from great danger
Could sit in jail twenty five years and we did not
Do all that we could do to get him released.
