2 Samuel 1:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 O noble Israel, [a]he is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty overthrown!
20 (A)Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, upon you be neither dew nor rain, nor [b]be there fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is cast down, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
