2 Samuel 1:19 in context
- 17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
- 18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
- 19“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places!
How the mighty have fallen! - 20Don’t tell it in Gath.
Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon,
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. - 21You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings;
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away,
The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
