The Song of the Bow
Proclaim it not in the streets of bAshkelon—
Lest cthe daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of dthe uncircumcised triumph.
bLet there be no dew nor rain upon you,
Nor fields of offerings.
For the shield of the mighty is1 cast away there!
The shield of Saul, not canointed with oil.
