20Declare it not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!


In Context

17 And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;

18 and he saith to teach the sons of Judah 'The Bow;' lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: —

19 The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places is wounded; How have the mighty fallen!

20 Declare it not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!

21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul — without the anointed with oil.

22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.
