19 [a]Your beauty, Israel, is [b]slaughtered on your high places!
(A)How the mighty have fallen!
20 (B)Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
Or (C)the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice,
The daughters of (D)the uncircumcised will celebrate.
21 (E)Mountains of Gilboa,
(F)May there be no dew nor rain on you, or fields of offerings!
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
The shield of Saul, not (G)anointed with oil.
