2 Samuel 1:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Tell it not in Gath;
proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,
or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice;
the daughters of the uncircumcised will exult.(A)
21 You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain upon you
nor bounteous fields![a]
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,
the shield of Saul, anointed with oil no more.(B)
22 From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty,
the bow of Jonathan did not turn back,
nor the sword of Saul return empty.(C)
