Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Samuel 1:24

"Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel." — 2 Samuel 1:24 (ASV)

The women of Israel are fittingly introduced. Those who had come out to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music in the day of victory are now called to weep over him.
