2 Samuele 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 Samuele 1:19 In-Context

17 Allora Davide compose questa elegia sopra Saul e sul figlio di lui Gionathan,
18 e ordinò che fosse insegnata ai figliuoli di Giuda. E’ l’elegia dell’arco. Si trova scritta nel libro del giusto:
19 "Il fiore de’ tuoi figli, o Israele, giace ucciso sulle tue alture! Come mai son caduti quei prodi?
20 Non ne recate la nuova a Gath, non lo pubblicate per le strade d’Askalon; le figliuole de’ Filistei ne gioirebbero, le figliuole degl’incirconcisi ne farebbero festa.
21 O monti di Ghilboa, su voi non cada più né rugiada né pioggia, né più vi siano campi da offerte; poiché là fu gettato via lo scudo de’ prodi, lo scudo di Saul, che l’olio non ungerà più.
