Commentary
Commentary on 2 Samuel 1:19
Theological / DevotionalThe beauty. Heb. ṣebi. Literally, “beauty,” or “honor.” The LXX takes this Hebrew word as from the root naṣab, which means “to set up,” as a pillar, and translates the clause, “Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain.”
The mighty. See v. 25. The ode consists of two parts, the first dealing with both Saul and Jonathan (vs. 19–24), and the second dealing only with Jonathan (vs. 25, 26).
