David's Lament for Saul and Jonathan

17And David plamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son, 18and he said it1 should be taught to the people of Judah; behold, it is written in qthe Book of Jashar.2 He said:

19“Your glory, O Israel, is slain on your high places!

rHow the mighty have fallen!

20sTell it not in Gath,

tpublish it not in the streets of Ashkelon,

ulest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,

lest the daughters of vthe uncircumcised exult.

21w“You mountains of Gilboa,

let there be no dew or rain upon you,

nor fields of offerings!3

For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,

the shield of Saul, not xanointed with oil.
