Reference: Lamentation

Easton

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