2 Samuel 1:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:22

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the
bow of Jonathan turned not back
That is, it always did execution, the arrows shot frown it pierced into men, shed their blood, and slew them; even they entered into the fat of the mighty, or mighty ones, that were fat, and brought them down; so the arrows of the Medes and Persians, the expert men among them, are said not to return in vain, ( Jeremiah 50:9 ) ;

and the sword of Saul returned not empty;
but was the means of slaying many; though Abarbinel observes also that this may be interpreted of the blood of the slain, and of the fat of the mighty men of Israel; and that though Saul and Jonathan saw many of these fall before their eyes, yet "for" or "because" of their blood, they were not intimidated and restrained from fighting; the bow of the one, and the shield of the other, turned not back on that account.

2 Samuel 1:22 In-Context

20 No lo anunciéis en Gat, no lo proclaméis en las calles de Ascalón; para que no se regocijen las hijas de los filisteos, para que no se alegren las hijas de los incircuncisos.
21 Oh montes de Gilboa, no haya sobre vosotros rocĂ­o ni lluvia, ni campos de ofrendas; porque allĂ­ fue deshonrado el escudo de los valientes, el escudo de SaĂșl, no ungido con aceite.
22 De la sangre de los muertos, de la grosura de los poderosos, el arco de JonatĂĄn no volvĂ­a atrĂĄs, y la espada de SaĂșl no volvĂ­a vacĂ­a.
23 SaĂșl y JonatĂĄn, amados y amables en su vida, y en su muerte no fueron separados; mĂĄs ligeros eran que ĂĄguilas, mĂĄs fuertes que leones.
24 Hijas de Israel, llorad por SaĂșl, que os vestĂ­a lujosamente de escarlata, que ponĂ­a adornos de oro en vuestros vestidos.
