20 (A)Tell it not in Gath,
    (B)publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
(C)lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
    lest the daughters of (D)the uncircumcised exult.

21 (E)“You mountains of Gilboa,
    let there be no dew or rain upon you,
    nor fields of offerings![a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
    the shield of Saul, not (F)anointed with oil.

22 “From the blood of the slain,
    from the fat of the mighty,
(G)the bow of Jonathan turned not back,
    and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
