2 Samuel 1:21

Ye mountains of Gilboa, 1 let there be no tal, neither let there be matar, upon you, 1 nor fields of terumot; 1 for there the mogen Gibborim is defiled, 1 the mogen of Sha'ul, as though he had not been mashiach (anointed) with shemen. 1

In The King James Version

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
