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.
