2 Samuel 1:19

_ _ The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places — literally, “the gazelle” or “antelope of Israel.” In Eastern countries, that animal is the chosen type of beauty and symmetrical elegance of form.

_ _ how are the mighty fallen! — This forms the chorus.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 1:17-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Beauty — Their flower and glory. Saul and Jonathan, and their army. High places — Heb. upon thy high places; that is, those which belong to thee, O land of Israel. How — How strangely! How suddenly! How universally!

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
