Lamentation
From BibleWiki
(Redirected from Lamented)
(Heb. qinah), an elegy or dirge. The first example of this form of poetry is the lament of David over Saul and Jonathan (2 Sam 1:17-27). It was a frequent accompaniment of mourning (Amos 8:10). In 2 Sam 3:33, 34 is recorded David's lament over Abner. Prophecy sometimes took the form of a lament when it predicted calamity (Ezek 27:2, 32; 28:12; 32:2, 16).
