2 Samuel 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:24

Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul
In their mournful elegies;

who clothed you with scarlet, with [other] delights;
not only with scarlet, but with other fine and delightful apparel, such as were very pleasing to the female sex, especially young people, who are delighted with gay apparel; this Saul was the means of, through the spoil he took from his enemies, and by other methods taken by him to the enriching of the nation, whereby husbands and parents were enabled to provide rich clothes for their wives and children:

who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel;
broidered work, jewels of gold See ( Isaiah 3:18-23 ) ( Ezekiel 16:10-13 ) .
