KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7458 Then there was a famine H3117 in the days H1732 of David H7969 three H8141 years H8141 , year H310 after H8141 year H1732 ; and David H1245 enquired [H8762]   H6440 of H3068 the LORD H3068 . And the LORD H559 answered [H8799]   H7586 , It is for Saul H1818 , and for his bloody H1004 house H4191 , because he slew [H8689]   H1393 the Gibeonites.
  2 H4428 And the king H7121 called [H8799]   H1393 the Gibeonites H559 , and said [H8799]   H1393 unto them; (now the Gibeonites H1121 were not of the children H3478 of Israel H3499 , but of the remnant H567 of the Amorites H1121 ; and the children H3478 of Israel H7650 had sworn [H8738]   H7586 unto them: and Saul H1245 sought [H8762]   H5221 to slay [H8687]   H7065 them in his zeal [H8763]   H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel H3063 and Judah.)
  3 H1732 Wherefore David H559 said [H8799]   H1393 unto the Gibeonites H6213 , What shall I do [H8799]   H3722 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement [H8762]   H1288 , that ye may bless [H8761]   H5159 the inheritance H3068 of the LORD?
  4 H1393 And the Gibeonites H559 said [H8799]   H3701 unto him, We will have no silver H2091 nor gold H5973 of H7586 Saul H1004 , nor of his house H4191 ; neither for us shalt thou kill [H8687]   H376 any man H3478 in Israel H559 . And he said [H8799]   H559 , What ye shall say [H8802]   H6213 , that will I do [H8799]   for you.
  5 H559 And they answered [H8799]   H4428 the king H376 , The man H3615 that consumed [H8765]   H1819 us, and that devised [H8765]   H8045 against us that we should be destroyed [H8738]   H3320 from remaining [H8692]   H1366 in any of the coasts H3478 of Israel,
  6 H7651 Let seven H582 men H1121 of his sons H5414 be delivered [H8714]   H3363 unto us, and we will hang them up [H8689]   H3068 unto the LORD H1390 in Gibeah H7586 of Saul H3068 , whom the LORD H972 did choose H4428 . And the king H559 said [H8799]   H5414 , I will give [H8799]   them .
  7 H4428 But the king H2550 spared [H8799]   H4648 Mephibosheth H1121 , the son H3083 of Jonathan H1121 the son H7586 of Saul H3068 , because of the LORD'S H7621 oath H1732 that was between them, between David H3083 and Jonathan H1121 the son H7586 of Saul.
  8 H4428 But the king H3947 took [H8799]   H8147 the two H1121 sons H7532 of Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H3205 , whom she bare [H8804]   H7586 unto Saul H764 , Armoni H4648 and Mephibosheth H2568 ; and the five H1121 sons H4324 of Michal H1323 the daughter H7586 of Saul H3205 , whom she brought up [H8804]   H5741 for Adriel H1121 the son H1271 of Barzillai H4259 the Meholathite:
  9 H5414 And he delivered [H8799]   H3027 them into the hands H1393 of the Gibeonites H3363 , and they hanged [H8686]   H2022 them in the hill H6440 before H3068 the LORD H5307 : and they fell [H8799]   H7651 all seven [H8675]   H7659   H3162 together H4191 , and were put to death [H8717]   H3117 in the days H7105 of harvest H7223 , in the first H8462 days, in the beginning H8184 of barley H7105 harvest.
  10 H7532 And Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H3947 took [H8799]   H8242 sackcloth H5186 , and spread [H8686]   H6697 it for her upon the rock H8462 , from the beginning H7105 of harvest H4325 until water H5413 dropped [H8738]   H8064 upon them out of heaven H5414 , and suffered [H8804]   H5775 neither the birds H8064 of the air H5117 to rest [H8800]   H3119 on them by day H2416 , nor the beasts H7704 of the field H3915 by night.
  11 H5046 And it was told [H8714]   H1732 David H7532 what Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H6370 , the concubine H7586 of Saul H6213 , had done [H8804]  .
  12 H1732 And David H3212 went [H8799]   H3947 and took [H8799]   H6106 the bones H7586 of Saul H6106 and the bones H3083 of Jonathan H1121 his son H1167 from the men H3003 of Jabeshgilead H1568   H1589 , which had stolen [H8804]   H7339 them from the street H1052 of Bethshan H6430 , where the Philistines H8511 had hanged [H8804]   [H8675]   H8518   [H8804]   H3117 them, when H6430 the Philistines H5221 had slain [H8687]   H7586 Saul H1533 in Gilboa:
  13 H5927 And he brought up [H8686]   H6106 from thence the bones H7586 of Saul H6106 and the bones H3083 of Jonathan H1121 his son H622 ; and they gathered [H8799]   H6106 the bones H3363 of them that were hanged [H8716]  .
  14 H6106 And the bones H7586 of Saul H3083 and Jonathan H1121 his son H6912 buried [H8799]   H776 they in the country H1144 of Benjamin H6762 in Zelah H6913 , in the sepulchre H7027 of Kish H1 his father H6213 : and they performed [H8799]   H4428 all that the king H6680 commanded [H8765]   H310 . And after H430 that God H6279 was intreated [H8735]   H776 for the land.
  15 H6430 Moreover the Philistines H4421 had yet war H3478 again with Israel H1732 ; and David H3381 went down [H8799]   H5650 , and his servants H3898 with him, and fought [H8735]   H6430 against the Philistines H1732 : and David H5774 waxed faint [H8799]  .
  16 H3430 And Ishbibenob H3211 , which was of the sons H7497 of the giant H4948 , the weight H7013 of whose spear H7969 weighed three H3967 hundred H5178 shekels of brass H4948 in weight H2296 , he being girded [H8803]   H2319 with a new H559 sword, thought [H8799]   H5221 to have slain [H8687]   H1732 David.
  17 H52 But Abishai H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah H5826 succoured [H8799]   H5221 him, and smote [H8686]   H6430 the Philistine H4191 , and killed [H8686]   H582 him. Then the men H1732 of David H7650 sware [H8738]   H559 unto him, saying [H8800]   H3318 , Thou shalt go [H8799]   H4421 no more out with us to battle H3518 , that thou quench [H8762]   H5216 not the light H3478 of Israel.
  18 H310 And it came to pass after this H4421 , that there was again a battle H6430 with the Philistines H1359 at Gob H5444 : then Sibbechai H2843 the Hushathite H5221 slew [H8689]   H5593 Saph H3211 , which was of the sons H7497 of the giant.
  19 H4421 And there was again a battle H1359 in Gob H6430 with the Philistines H445 , where Elhanan H1121 the son H3296 of Jaareoregim H1022 , a Bethlehemite H5221 , slew [H8686]   H1555 the brother of Goliath H1663 the Gittite H6086 , the staff H2595 of whose spear H707 was like a weaver's [H8802]   H4500 beam.
  20 H4421 And there was yet a battle H1661 in Gath H376 , where was a man H4067 of great stature [H8675]   H4055   H3027 , that had on every hand H8337 six H676 fingers H7272 , and on every foot H8337 six H676 toes H702 , four H6242 and twenty H4557 in number H3205 ; and he also was born [H8795]   H7497 to the giant.
  21 H2778 And when he defied [H8762]   H3478 Israel H3083 , Jonathan H1121 the son H8092 of Shimea H251 the brother H1732 of David H5221 slew [H8686]   him.
  22 H702 These four H3205 were born [H8795]   H7497 to the giant H1661 in Gath H5307 , and fell [H8799]   H3027 by the hand H1732 of David H3027 , and by the hand H5650 of his servants.
ERV(i) 1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites. 2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah:) 3 and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? 4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. 5 And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel, 6 let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD; And the king said, I will give them. 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: 9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell [all] seven together: and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest. 10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. 11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa: 13 and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land. 15 And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint. 16 and Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel. 18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant. 19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei David’s brother slew him. 22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
