2 Samuel 1:20-22

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁰ Do not tell it in Gath,
don’t announce it in the marketplaces of Ashkelon,
or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice,^(A)
and the daughters of the uncircumcised will celebrate.
²¹ Mountains of Gilboa,
let no dew or rain be on you,
or fields of offerings,^[a]
for there the shield of the mighty was defiled^(B) –
the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.^(C)
22 Jonathan’s bow never retreated,
Saul’s sword never returned unstained,^[b]
from the blood of the slain,
from the flesh^[c] of the mighty.
