Then there was a famine H7458 in the days H3117 of David H1732 three H7969 years, H8141 year H8141 after H310 year; H8141 and David H1732 inquired H1245 of the LORD. H3068 And the LORD H3068 answered, H559 It is for Saul, H7586 and for his bloody H1818 house, H1004 because H5921 H834 he slew H4191 the Gibeonites. H1393

Why David H1732 said H559 to the Gibeonites, H1393 What H4100 shall I do H6213 for you? and with which H4100 shall I make the atonement, H3722 that you may bless H1288 the inheritance H5159 of the LORD? H3068

And they answered H559 the king, H4428 The man H376 that consumed H3615 us, and that devised H1819 against us that we should be destroyed H8045 from remaining H3320 in any H3605 of the coasts H1366 of Israel, H3478

But the king H4428 spared H2550 Mephibosheth, H4648 the son H1121 of Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 because H5921 of the LORD's H3068 oath H7621 that was between H996 them, between H996 David H1732 and Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Saul. H7586

And he delivered H5414 them into the hands H3027 of the Gibeonites, H1393 and they hanged H3363 them in the hill H2022 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and they fell H5307 all seven H7651 together, H3162 and were put to death H4191 in the days of harvest, H7105 in the first H7223 days, in the beginning H8462 of barley H8184 harvest. H7105

And it was told H5046 David H1732 what H853 H834 Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah, H345 the concubine H6370 of Saul, H7586 had done. H6213

And he brought H5927 up from there H8033 the bones H6106 of Saul H7586 and the bones H6106 of Jonathan H3083 his son; H1121 and they gathered H622 the bones H6106 of them that were hanged. H3363

Let no G3367 man G3367 say G3004 when he is tempted, G3985 I am tempted G3985 of God: G2316 for God G2316 cannot G551 be tempted G551 with evil, G2556 neither G2582 G3762 tempts G3985 he any G3762 man: G3762

But every G1538 man is tempted, G3985 when he is drawn G1828 away of his own G2398 lust, G1939 and enticed. G1185

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Behold, H2005 I will raise H6965 up evil H7451 against H5921 you out of your own house, H1004 and I will take H3947 your wives H802 before your eyes, H5869 and give H5414 them to your neighbor, H7453 and he shall lie H7901 with your wives H802 in the sight H5869 of this H2063 sun. H8121

And the king H4428 said, H559 What H4100 have I to do with you, you sons H1121 of Zeruiah? H6870 so H3588 let him curse, H7043 because H3588 the LORD H3068 has said H559 to him, Curse H7043 David. H1732 Who H4310 shall then say, H559 Why H4069 have you done H6213 so? H3651

Now H6258 therefore be not grieved, H6087 nor H408 angry H2734 with yourselves, H5869 that you sold H4376 me here: for God H430 did send H7971 me before H6440 you to preserve H4241 life.

But as for you, you thought H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 me; but God H430 meant H2803 it to good, H2896 to bring H6213 to pass, H6213 as it is this H2088 day, H3117 to save H2421 much H7227 people H5971 alive. H2421

And I will harden H7185 Pharaoh's H6547 heart, H3820 and multiply H7235 my signs H226 and my wonders H4159 in the land H776 of Egypt. H4714

Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, let my lord H113 the king H4428 hear H8085 the words H1697 of his servant. H5650 If H518 the LORD H3068 have stirred H5496 you up against me, let him accept H7306 an offering: H4503 but if H518 they be the children H1121 of men, H120 cursed H779 be they before H6440 the LORD; H3068 for they have driven H1644 me out this day H3117 from abiding H5596 in the inheritance H5159 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Go, H3212 serve H5647 other H312 gods. H430

And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Who H4310 shall persuade H6601 Ahab, H256 that he may go H5927 up and fall H5307 at Ramothgilead? H7433 And one said H559 on this H3541 manner, H3541 and another H2088 said H559 on that manner. H3541

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, With H4100 which? And he said, H559 I will go H3318 forth, H3318 and I will be a lying H8267 spirit H7307 in the mouth H6310 of all H3605 his prophets. H5030 And he said, H559 You shall persuade H6601 him, and prevail H3201 also: H1571 go H3318 forth, H3318 and do H6213 so. H3651

And if H3588 the prophet H5030 be deceived H6601 when H3588 he has spoken H1696 a thing, H1697 I the LORD H3068 have deceived H6601 that prophet, H5030 and I will stretch H5186 out my hand H3027 on him, and will destroy H8045 him from the middle H8432 of my people H5971 Israel. H3478

Why I gave H5414 them also H1571 statutes H2706 that were not good, H2896 and judgments H4941 whereby they should not live; H2421

For to do G4160 whatever G3745 your hand G5495 and your counsel G1012 determined G4309 before G4309 to be done. G1096

And for this G5124 cause G1223 God G2316 shall send G3992 them strong G1753 delusion, G4106 that they should believe G4100 a lie: G5579

But David H1732 took H5375 not the number H4557 of them from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and under: H4295 because H3588 the LORD H3068 had said H559 he would increase H7235 Israel H3478 like to the stars H3556 of the heavens. H8064

Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 began H2490 to number, H4487 but he finished H3615 not, because there fell H1961 wrath H7110 for it against H5921 Israel; H3478 neither H3808 was the number H4557 put H5927 in the account H4557 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of king H4428 David. H1732
