2 Samuel 1:20-22
New King James Version
20 (A)Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of (B)Ashkelon—
Lest (C)the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of (D)the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “O (E)mountains of Gilboa,
(F)Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,
Nor fields of offerings.
For the shield of the mighty is [a]cast away there!
The shield of Saul, not (G)anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain,
From the fat of the mighty,
(H)The bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
