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:
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.
Proclaim it not in the streets of bAshkelon—
Lest cthe daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of dthe uncircumcised triumph.
21 “O amountains of Gilboa,
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.
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.
22 From the blood of the slain,
From the fat of the mighty,
aThe bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
From the fat of the mighty,
aThe bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
