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 ) .

2 Samuel 1:24 In-Context

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles; they were stronger than lions.

24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.

25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.

26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
