2 Samuel 1:19-21
New Century Version
19 “Israel, your leaders have been killed on the hills.
How the mighty have fallen in battle!
20 Don’t tell it in Gath.
Don’t announce it in the streets of Ashkelon.
If you do, the Philistine women will be happy.
The daughters of the Philistines will rejoice.
21 “May there be no dew or rain on the mountains of Gilboa,
and may their fields produce no grain,
because there the mighty warrior’s shield was dishonored.
Saul’s shield will no longer be rubbed with oil.
2 Samuel 1:19-21
