2 Samuel 1:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 “Your glory, O Israel, lies slain upon your high places!
How the mighty have fallen!(A)
20 Tell it not in Gath;
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice;
the daughters of the uncircumcised will exult.(B)
21 You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain upon you
nor bounteous fields![a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, anointed with oil no more.(C)
