18and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow.1 It is written in the Book of Jashar:2

19“Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights.How the mighty have fallen!

20Tell it not in Gath;proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon,lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
