2 Samuel 1:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?

²⁰ Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,

²¹ Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
