Footnotes
ποῦ σου, θάνατε — Drawn from Hosea 13:14 (LXX). In its original context, YHWH was summoning death as a judgment upon Ephraim — 'O Death, where are your plagues?' is a threat, not a taunt. Sha'ul performs a stunning inversion: what was once a divine summons of destruction becomes a victor's taunting cry over a defeated enemy. The prophetic threat becomes a resurrection war-song.
