2 Samuel 1:20-22
Wycliffe Bible

20 do not ye tell this in Gath, neither tell ye (it) in the way-lots of Askelon; lest peradventure the daughters of Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of uncircumcised men joy.

21 Hills of Gilboa, neither dew, neither rain come upon you, neither be they the fields of first fruits (nor be ye the fields of the first fruits); for the shield of (the) strong men was cast away there, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.

22 Of the blood of slain men, of the fatness of strong men, the arrow of Jonathan went never aback, and the sword of Saul turned not again void.

2 Samuel 1:20-22
New International Version

20 “Tell it not in Gath,(A)
    proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,(B)
lest the daughters of the Philistines(C) be glad,
    lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice.(D)

21 “Mountains of Gilboa,(E)
    may you have neither dew(F) nor rain,(G)
    may no showers fall on your terraced fields.[a](H)
For there the shield of the mighty was despised,
    the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with oil.(I)

22 “From the blood(J) of the slain,
    from the flesh of the mighty,
the bow(K) of Jonathan did not turn back,
    the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
