2 Samuel 1:19 Context
17¶ And Dauid lamented with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne: 18(Also hee bade them teach the children of Iudah the vse of the bow: behold, it is written in the booke of Iasher.) 19The beauty of Israel is slaine vpon thy high places: how are the mightie fallen! 20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streetes of Askelon: lest the daughters of the Philistines reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph. 21Yee mountaines of Gilboa, let there bee no dewe, neither let there be raine vpon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mightie is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though hee had not beene annointed with oile.
