2 Samuel 1:16-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

16. But David said to him, “Your blood is upon your own head, since your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I put an end to the anointed of the Lord.’ ”

17. Then David recited this lament over Saul and Jonathan his son,

18. and he told them to teach the sons of Judah the Song of the Bow. It is written in the book of Jashar:

19. Your splendor, O Israel, has been slain upon your hills.How the mighty ones have fallen.

20. Do not report it in Gath,do not announce it in the streets of Ashkelon,lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,or the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
