Mountains of Gilboa, let no dew, no rain fall on you, no fields yielding offerings — for there the shield of the mighty lies defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
In context
19“Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen! 20Do not tell it in Gath, do not announce it in the streets of Ashkelon, or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, the daughters of the uncircumcised will exult. 21Mountains of Gilboa, let no dew, no rain fall on you, no fields yielding offerings — for there the shield of the mighty lies defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil. 22From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back, and Saul’s sword did not return empty. 23Saul and Jonathan, loved and gracious in their lives, in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
