2 Kingdoms (2 Samuel) 1:11Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

When he was freed from these tribulations and reclaimed his wives and all the captives, before he could relish this triumph, he was once more overwhelmed by the painful tidings of Jonathan's death. This deeply grieved his spirit, evident in his mourning words: "your love has attacked me, more than the love of a woman" (2 Kings 1:26).
