Commentary on 2 Samuel 1:24

Theological / Devotional

Ye daughters. The women of Israel had rejoiced at the hour of triumph (1 Sam. 18:6, 7); they were now to lament the fallen heroes at the hour of defeat.

In scarlet. See Prov. 31:21. Returning from his victories, Saul shared with the people his spoils, and as a result the women of Israel enjoyed articles of luxury—scarlet, gold, and other delights.
