Commentary for II Samuel 1:19

הַצְּבִי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַל־בָּמוֹתֶ֖יךָ חָלָ֑ל אֵ֖יךְ נָפְל֥וּ גִבּוֹרִֽים׃

Thy beauty, O Israel, upon thy high places is slain! How are the mighty fallen!

Rashi on II Samuel

Pillar of Yisroel, on your heights [you have been rendered] a corpse. Pillars of Yisroel, on the mightiest point of your stronghold you have fallen as corpses. This is Yonasan's translation.
