19. “The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places!How the mighty have fallen!
20. Tell it not in Gath,Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon—Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21. “O mountains of Gilboa,Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,Nor fields of offerings.For the shield of the mighty is cast away there!The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22. From the blood of the slain,From the fat of the mighty,The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23. “Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives,And in their death they were not divided;They were swifter than eagles,They were stronger than lions.
