# Mountains of Gilboa
|
|
|
|
David speaks directly to the "Mountains of Gilboa" as if they were listening to his song.

# let there not be dew or rain on you

David curses the ground where King Saul died in the battle. This was out of reverence for Saul, who was God's anointed king.

The "mighty" here refers to Saul. The shield was defiled because it fell on the ground, and because the king's blood was shed on it.
