16. So David said to him, “Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”
17. Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
18. and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher:
19. “The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places!How the mighty have fallen!
20. Tell it not in Gath,Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon—Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21. “O mountains of Gilboa,Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,Nor fields of offerings.For the shield of the mighty is cast away there!The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
