In Context

17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

19 |Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20 Don't tell it in Gath. Don't publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow didn't turn back. Saul's sword didn't return empty.
