2 Samuel 21:1-14 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years , year after year ; and David enquired of the LORD . And the LORD answered , It is for Saul , and for his bloody house , because he slew the Gibeonites.

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 [H8762] enquired H6440 of H3068 the LORD H3068 . And the LORD H559 [H8799] answered H7586 , It is for Saul H1818 , and for his bloody H1004 house H4191 [H8689] , because he slew H1393 the Gibeonites.

2 H4428 And the king H7121 [H8799] called H1393 the Gibeonites H559 [H8799] , and said H1393 to 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 [H8738] had sworn H7586 to them: and Saul H1245 [H8762] sought H5221 [H8687] to slay H7065 [H8763] them in his zeal H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel H3063 and Judah.)

3 H1732 Therefore David H559 [H8799] said H1393 to the Gibeonites H6213 [H8799] , What shall I do H3722 [H8762] for you? and how shall I make the atonement H1288 [H8761] , that ye may bless H5159 the inheritance H3068 of the LORD?

4 H1393 And the Gibeonites H559 [H8799] said H3701 to him, We will have no silver H2091 nor gold H5973 of H7586 Saul H1004 , nor of his house H4191 [H8687] ; neither for us shalt thou kill H376 any man H3478 in Israel H559 [H8799] . And he said H559 [H8802] , What ye shall say H6213 [H8799] , that will I do for you.

5 H559 [H8799] And they answered H4428 the king H376 , The man H3615 [H8765] that consumed H1819 [H8765] us, and that devised H8045 [H8738] against us that we should be destroyed H3320 [H8692] from remaining H1366 within any border H3478 of Israel,

6 H7651 Let seven H582 men H1121 of his sons H5414 [H8714] be delivered H3363 [H8689] to us, and we will hang them up H3068 to the LORD H1390 in Gibeah H7586 of Saul H3068 , whom the LORD H972 chose H4428 . And the king H559 [H8799] said H5414 [H8799] , I will give them.

7 H4428 But the king H2550 [H8799] spared 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 [H8799] took H8147 the two H1121 sons H7532 of Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H3205 [H8804] , whom she bore H7586 to Saul H764 , Armoni H4648 and Mephibosheth H2568 ; and the five H1121 sons H4324 of Michal H1323 the daughter H7586 of Saul H3205 [H8804] , whom she brought up H5741 for Adriel H1121 the son H1271 of Barzillai H4259 the Meholathite:

9 H5414 [H8799] And he delivered H3027 them into the hands H1393 of the Gibeonites H3363 [H8686] , and they hanged H2022 them on the hill H6440 before H3068 the LORD H5307 [H8799] : and they fell H7651 H7659 [H8675] all seven H3162 together H4191 [H8717] , and were put to death 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 [H8799] took H8242 sackcloth H5186 [H8686] , and spread H6697 it for her upon the rock H8462 , from the beginning H7105 of harvest H4325 until the rain H5413 [H8738] poured H8064 on them from heaven H5414 [H8804] , and allowed H5775 neither the birds H8064 of the air H5117 [H8800] to rest H3119 on them by day H2416 , nor the beasts H7704 of the field H3915 by night.

11 H5046 [H8714] And it was told H1732 David H7532 what Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H6370 , the concubine H7586 of Saul H6213 [H8804] , had done.

12 H1732 And David H3212 [H8799] went H3947 [H8799] and took H6106 the bones H7586 of Saul H6106 and the bones H3083 of Jonathan H1121 his son H1167 from the men H3003 H1568 of Jabeshgilead H1589 [H8804] , who had stolen H7339 them from the street H1052 of Bethshan H6430 , where the Philistines H8511 H8518 [H8804] had hanged H3117 them, when H6430 the Philistines H5221 [H8687] had slain H7586 Saul H1533 in Gilboa:

13 H5927 [H8686] And he brought up H6106 from there the bones H7586 of Saul H6106 and the bones H3083 of Jonathan H1121 his son H622 [H8799] ; and they gathered H6106 the bones H3363 [H8716] of them that were hanged.

14 H6106 And the bones H7586 of Saul H3083 and Jonathan H1121 his son H6912 [H8799] they buried H776 in the country H1144 of Benjamin H6762 in Zelah H6913 , in the sepulchre H7027 of Kish H1 his father H6213 [H8799] : and they performed H4428 all that the king H6680 [H8765] commanded H310 . And after H430 that God H6279 [H8735] was entreated H776 for the land.
