Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧:૨૦
ગાથમાં એ કહેશો નહિ, આશ્કલોનની શેરીઓમાં એ પ્રગટ કરશો નહિ, રખેને પલિસ્તીઓની દીકરીઓ હરખાય, અને બેસુન્નતીઓની દીકરીઓ આનંદ કરે.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १:२०
गत में यह न बताओ, और न अश्कलोन की सड़कों में प्रचार करना; न हो कि पलिश्ती स्त्रियाँ आनन्दित हों, न हो कि खतनारहित लोगों की बेटियाँ गर्व करने लगें।

In context

18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

19“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.
