What does 2 Samuel 1:21-23 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasantd in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
