2 Samuel 1:19-21
New King James Version
19 “The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places!
(A)How the mighty have fallen!
20 (B)Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of (C)Ashkelon—
Lest (D)the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of (E)the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “O (F)mountains of Gilboa,
(G)Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,
Nor fields of offerings.
For the shield of the mighty is [a]cast away there!
The shield of Saul, not (H)anointed with oil.
