16. David said to him, “Your blood is on your head, for you testified against yourself when you said, ‘I put the Lord’s anointed to death.’”
17. Then David chanted this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan
18. (he commanded that it be taught to the Judahites; it is recorded in the Book of Jashar):
19. Alas! the glory of Israel,slain upon your heights!How can the warriors have fallen!
20. Do not report it in Gath,as good news in Ashkelon’s streets,Lest Philistine women rejoice,lest the women of the uncircumcised exult!
21. O mountains of Gilboa,upon you be neither dew nor rain,nor surging from the deeps!Defiled there the warriors’ shields,the shield of Saul—no longer anointed with oil!
