Contextual Overview

17 David lamented with this lamentation over Sha'ul and over Yonatan his son 18 (and he bade them teach the children of Yehudah [the song of] the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Yashar): 19 Your glory, Yisra'el, is slain on your high places! How are the mighty fallen! 20 Don't tell it in Gat, Don't publish it in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Pelishtim rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21 You mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Sha'ul, not anointed with oil. 22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Yonatan didn't turn back, The sword of Sha'ul didn't return empty. 23 Sha'ul and Yonatan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, In their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions. 24 You daughters of Yisra'el, weep over Sha'ul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold on your clothing. 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Yonatan is slain on your high places. 26 I am distressed for you, my brother Yonatan: Very pleasant have you been to me: Your love to me was wonderful, Passing the love of women.

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.
