2 Samuel 1:17 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 1:17

15 Then ^aDavid called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and execute him!” And he struck him so that he died.

16 So David said to him, ^a“Your blood is on your own head, for ^byour own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”

The Song of the Bow

17 Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

18 ^aand he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written ^bin the Book of Jasher:

19 “The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places!
^aHow the mighty have fallen!

20 ^aTell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of ^bAshkelon—
Lest ^cthe daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of ^dthe uncircumcised triumph.
