Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.

Ορη τα εν Γελβουε, Ας μη ηναι δροσος μηδε βροχη εφ' υμας, μηδε αγροι διδοντες απαρχας· διοτι εκει απερριφθη η ασπις των ισχυρων, Η ασπις του Σαουλ, ως να μη εχρισθη δι' ελαιου.

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
