       2 Samuel 1:19-20 King James Version (KJV)
       19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are
       the mighty fallen!
       20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of
       Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the
       daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
       2 Samuel 1:19-20 New Life Version (NLV)
       19 “O Israel, your beauty is destroyed on your high places! How
       have the powerful fallen! 20 Do not tell about it in Gath. Do
       not tell about it in the streets of Ashkelon, or the daughters
       of the Philistines might be filled with joy. The daughters of
       those who have not gone through our religious act might be
       filled with joy.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       19 Israel would lose their glory thru battle and war but it was
       because of Saul’s lack of faith during his leadership, often
       times the king’s faith effected the nation’s which shows the
       importance of a God fearing leader. The king and his heir
       Jonathan are the ones referred to as the fallen ones.
       20 Gath was a city of the Philistines, the war where the loose
       was gained was against the Philistines. Ashkelon is another
       Philistine city. The Philistines would have found favor in the
       win and they did once they knew we see how they reacted with the
       ark the captured.
