2 Samuel 1:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 Do not tell it in Gath,
don’t announce it in the marketplaces of Ashkelon,
or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice,(A)
and the daughters of the uncircumcised will gloat.
21 Mountains of Gilboa,
let no dew or rain be on you,
or fields of offerings,[a]
for there the shield of the mighty was defiled(B)—
the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.(C)
22 Jonathan’s bow never retreated,
Saul’s sword never returned unstained,[b]
from the blood of the slain,
from the bodies of the mighty.
