2 Samuel 1:20-22
New International Reader's Version
20 “Don’t announce it in Gath.
Don’t tell it in the streets of Ashkelon.
If you do, the daughters of the Philistines will be glad.
The daughters of men who haven’t been circumcised will be joyful.
21 “Mountains of Gilboa,
may no dew or rain fall on you.
May no showers fall on your hillside fields.
The shield of the mighty king wasn’t respected there.
The shield of Saul lies there. It isn’t rubbed with oil anymore.
22 The bow of Jonathan didn’t turn back.
The sword of Saul didn’t return without being satisfied.
They spilled the blood of their enemies.
They killed mighty men.
2 Samuel 1:20-22

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)
