KJV - 2 Samuel 1:21
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.
Mountains of Gilboa, don't have dew or rain; no offerings either. Here, the great warrior's protective gear is disgracefully thrown away. Saul's shield, despite being anointed, seems useless.
