2 Samuel 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:20

Tell [it] not in Gath
One of the five principalities of the Philistines, and the chief of them, being raised to a kingdom, and whose king was at the head of the armies of the Philistines that engaged with Saul. This is not to be understood of a command of David, who could not hinder the victory the Philistines had got over Israel being known at Gath, and talked of with pleasure there, but a wish it had not:

publish [it] not in the streets of Ashkelon;
another of the principalities of the Philistines, and the sense the same as before:

lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of
the uncircumcised triumph;
it being usual in those times and countries for women, young women more especially, to express their joy, on occasion of victories obtained, by singing and dancing, ( Judges 11:34 ) ( 1 Samuel 18:6 1 Samuel 18:7 ) .

2 Samuel 1:20 In-Context

18 mandando que fosse ensinada aos filhos de Jud谩; eis que est谩 escrita no livro de Jasar:
19 Tua gl贸ria, 贸 Israel, foi morta sobre os teus altos! Como ca铆ram os valorosos!
20 N茫o o noticieis em Gate, nem o publiqueis nas ruas de Asquelom; para que n茫o se alegrem as filhas dos filisteus, para que n茫o exultem as filhas dos incircuncisos.
21 V贸s, montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho, nem chuva caia sobre, v贸s, 贸 campos de morte; pois ali desprezivelmente foi arrojado o escudo dos valorosos, o escudo de Saul, ungido com 贸leo.
22 Do sangue dos feridos, da gordura dos valorosos, nunca recuou o arco de J么natas, nem voltou vazia a espada de Saul.
