Then there was a famineH7458 in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 threeH7969 years,H8141 yearH8141 afterH310 year;H8141 and DavidH1732 inquiredH1245 of the LORD.H3068 And the LORDH3068 answered,H559 It is for Saul,H7586 and for his bloodyH1818 house,H1004 becauseH5921 H834 he slewH4191 the Gibeonites.H1393
2
And the kingH4428 calledH7121 the Gibeonites,H1393 and saidH559 to them; (now the GibeonitesH1393 were not of the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 but of the remnantH3499 of the Amorites;H567 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650 to them: and SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to slayH5221 them in his zealH7065 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and Judah.H3063)
3
Why DavidH1732 saidH559 to the Gibeonites,H1393 WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 for you? and with whichH4100 shall I make the atonement,H3722 that you may blessH1288 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORD?H3068
4
And the GibeonitesH1393 saidH559 to him, We will have noH369 silverH3701 nor goldH2091 of Saul,H7586 nor of his house;H1004 neitherH369 for us shall you killH4191 any manH376 in Israel.H3478 And he said,H559 WhatH4100 you shall say,H559 that will I doH6213 for you.
5
And they answeredH559 the king,H4428 The manH376 that consumedH3615 us, and that devisedH1819 against us that we should be destroyedH8045 from remainingH3320 in anyH3605 of the coastsH1366 of Israel,H3478
6
Let sevenH7651 menH582 of his sonsH1121 be deliveredH5414 to us, and we will hangH3363 them up to the LORDH3068 in GibeahH1390 of Saul,H7586 whom the LORDH3068 did choose.H972 And the kingH4428 said,H559 I will giveH5414 them.
7
But the kingH4428 sparedH2550 Mephibosheth,H4648 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of Saul,H7586 becauseH5921 of the LORD'sH3068 oathH7621 that was betweenH996 them, betweenH996 DavidH1732 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of Saul.H7586
8
But the kingH4428 tookH3947 the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of Aiah,H345 whomH834 she boreH3205 to Saul,H7586 ArmoniH764 and Mephibosheth;H4648 and the fiveH2568 sonsH1121 of MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of Saul,H7586 whom she broughtH3205 up for AdrielH5741 the sonH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the Meholathite:H4259
9
And he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of the Gibeonites,H1393 and they hangedH3363 them in the hillH2022 beforeH6440 the LORD:H3068 and they fellH5307 all sevenH7651 together,H3162 and were put to deathH4191 in the days of harvest,H7105 in the firstH7223 days, in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvest.H7105
10
And RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345 tookH3947 sackcloth,H8242 and spreadH5186 it for her on the rock,H6697 from the beginningH8462 of harvestH7105 untilH5704 waterH4325 droppedH5413 on them out of heaven,H8064 and sufferedH5414 neitherH3808 the birdsH5775 of the airH8064 to restH5117 onH5921 them by day,H3119 nor the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 by night.H3915
11
And it was toldH5046 DavidH1732 whatH853 H834 RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of Aiah,H345 the concubineH6370 of Saul,H7586 had done.H6213
12
And DavidH1732 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 from the menH1167 of Jabeshgilead,H3003 H1568 whichH834 had stolenH1589 them from the streetH7339 of Bethshan,H1052 whereH834 H8033 the PhilistinesH6430 had hangedH8511 them, whenH3117 the PhilistinesH6430 had slainH5221 SaulH7586 in Gilboa:H1533
13
And he broughtH5927 up from thereH8033 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his son;H1121 and they gatheredH622 the bonesH6106 of them that were hanged.H3363
14
And the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 buriedH6912 they in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144 in Zelah,H6762 in the sepulcherH6913 of KishH7027 his father:H1 and they performedH6213 allH3605 that the kingH4428 commanded.H6680 And afterH310 that GodH430 was entreatedH6279 for the land.H776
15
Moreover the PhilistinesH6430 hadH1961 yetH5750 warH4421 againH5750 with Israel;H3478 and DavidH1732 wentH3381 down,H3381 and his servantsH5650 with him, and foughtH3898 against the Philistines:H6430 and DavidH1732 waxed faint.H5774
16
And Ishbibenob,H3430 whichH834 was of the sonsH3211 of the giant,H7497 the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 weighed threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of brassH5178 in weight,H4948 he being girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, thoughtH559 to have slainH5221 David.H1732
17
But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 succoredH5826 him, and smoteH5221 the Philistine,H6430 and killedH4191 him. ThenH227 the menH582 of DavidH1732 sworeH7650 to him, saying,H559 You shall goH3318 noH3808 moreH5750 out with us to battle,H4421 that you quenchH3518 not the lightH5216 of Israel.H3478
18
And it cameH1961 to pass afterH310 this,H3651 that there was againH5750 a battleH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430 at Gob:H1359 thenH227 SibbechaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slewH5221 Saph,H5593 whichH834 was of the sonsH3211 of the giant.H7497
19
And there was againH5750 a battleH4421 in GobH1359 with the Philistines,H6430 where ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of Jaareoregim,H3296 a Bethlehemite,H1022 slewH5221 the brother of GoliathH1555 the Gittite,H1663 the staffH6086 of whose spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beam.H4500
20
And there was yetH5750 a battleH4421 in Gath,H1661 where was a manH376 of great stature,H4055 that had on every handH3027 sixH8337 fingers,H676 and on every footH7272 sixH8337 toes,H676 fourH702 and twentyH6242 in number;H4557 and he alsoH1571 was bornH3205 to the giant.H7497
21
And when he defiedH2778 Israel,H3478 JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8096 the brotherH251 of DavidH1732 slewH5221 him.
22
TheseH428 fourH702 were bornH3205 to the giantH7497 in Gath,H1661 and fellH5307 by the handH3027 of David,H1732 and by the handH3027 of his servants.H5650
