2 Samuel 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:19

The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places
The high mountains of Gilboa, where Saul their king, and Jonathan his son, a prince of the blood, and natural heir to the crown, and multitudes of young men, the flower of the nation, were wounded and slain. Here begins the lamentation, or the elegiac song:

how are the mighty fallen!
mighty men of war, strong and valiant, as Saul and his sons were, and the soldiers in his army.

2 Samuel 1:19 In-Context

17 Voici le cantique funĂšbre que David composa sur SaĂŒl et sur Jonathan, son fils,
18 et qu'il ordonna d'enseigner aux enfants de Juda. C'est le cantique de l'arc: il est écrit dans le livre du Juste.
19 L'élite d'Israël a succombé sur tes collines! Comment des héros sont-ils tombés?
20 Ne l'annoncez point dans Gath, N'en publiez point la nouvelle dans les rues d'Askalon, De peur que les filles des Philistins ne se réjouissent, De peur que les filles des incirconcis ne triomphent.
21 Montagnes de Guilboa! Qu'il n'y ait sur vous ni rosĂ©e ni pluie, Ni champs qui donnent des prĂ©mices pour les offrandes! Car lĂ  ont Ă©tĂ© jetĂ©s les boucliers des hĂ©ros, Le bouclier de SaĂŒl; L'huile a cessĂ© de les oindre.
