2 Samuel 1:19-21
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
19 “Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places!
How are the mighty fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath,
publish it not in the streets of Ash′kelon;
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21 “Ye mountains of Gilbo′a,
let there be no dew or rain upon you,
nor upsurging of the deep![a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
