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, was 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 or rain on you, and no fields of offerings;For there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away,The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
