2 Samuel 1:20-22
Modern English Version
20 Do not report it in Gath,
do not announce it in the streets of Ashkelon,
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
or the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21 O mountains of Gilboa,
may there be no rain or dew upon you
or your bountiful fields;
for there the shield of the mighty was defiled!
The shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
nor did the sword of Saul return empty.
2 Samuel 1:20-22
New International Version
20 “Tell it not in Gath,(A)
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,(B)
lest the daughters of the Philistines(C) be glad,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice.(D)
