Contextual Overview
17 David sang a song in memory of Saul and Jonathan, 18 and he ordered his men to teach the song to everyone in Judah. He called it "The Song of the Bow," and it can be found in The Book of Jashar. This is the song: 19 Israel, your famous hero lies dead on the hills, and your mighty warriors have fallen! 20 Don't tell it in Gath or spread the news on the streets of Ashkelon. The godless Philistine women will be happy and jump for joy. 21 Don't let dew or rain fall on the hills of Gilboa. Don't let its fields grow offerings for God. There the warriors' shields were smeared with mud, and Saul's own shield was left unpolished. 22 The arrows of Jonathan struck, and warriors died. The sword of Saul cut the enemy apart. 23 It was easy to love Saul and Jonathan. Together in life, together in death, they were faster than eagles and stronger than lions. 24 Women of Israel, cry for Saul. He brought you fine red cloth and jewelry made of gold. 25 Our warriors have fallen in the heat of battle, and Jonathan lies dead on the hills of Gilboa. 26 Jonathan, I miss you most! I loved you like a brother. You were truly loyal to me, more faithful than a wife to her husband.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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, &c. See Isaiah 3:18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The women of Israel are most happily introduced. They who had come out to meet king Saul with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music” in the day of victory, are now called to weep over him.
