2 Samuel 1:19

Context

1:19 The beauty 1  of Israel lies slain on your high places!

How the mighty have fallen!

2 Samuel 22:2

Context
22:2 He said:

“The Lord is my high ridge, 2  my stronghold, 3  my deliverer.

1 sn The word beauty is used figuratively here to refer to Saul and Jonathan.

2 tn Traditionally “is my rock”; CEV “mighty rock”; TEV “is my protector.” This metaphor pictures God as a rocky, relatively inaccessible summit, where one would be able to find protection from enemies. See 1 Sam 23:25, 28.

3 tn Traditionally “my fortress”; TEV “my strong fortress”; NCV “my protection.”

sn My stronghold. David often found safety in such strongholds. See 1 Sam 22:4-5; 24:22; 2 Sam 5:9, 17; 23:14.
