Clarke's 2-samuel 1:17 Bible Commentary
David lamented - See this lamentation, and the notes on it at the end of this chapter, 2 Samuel 1:21 (note).
Barnes's 2-samuel 1:17 Bible Commentary
The words lamented and lamentation must be understood in the technical sense of a funeral dirge or mournful elegy. (See similar dirges in 2 Samuel 3:33-34; and 2 Chronicles 35:25.) This and the brief stanza on the death of Abner are the only specimens preserved to us of David's secular poetry.
