# 2 Samuel 01 General Notes #
#### Structure and formatting ####
Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetic song in 1:19-27.
This chapter continues the material from 1 Samuel.
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
##### David's funeral song #####
David praised Saul and Jonathan as great warriors and Jonathan as his dearest friend.
#### Important figures of speech in this chapter ####
##### Synecdoche #####
David used two figures of speech to express that Jonathan and Saul were great warriors: "the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
