2 Samuel 21:1-22

Then there was a famine
<07458>

in the days
<03117>

of David
<01732>

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

year
<08141>

after
<0310>

year
<08141>_;

and David
<01732>

enquired
<01245> (8762)

of
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] for Saul
<07586>_,

and for [his] bloody
<01818>

house
<01004>_,

because he slew
<04191> (8689)

the Gibeonites
<01393>_.

{enquired...: Heb. sought the face, etc}

And the king
<04428>

called
<07121> (8799)

the Gibeonites
<01393>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them; (now the Gibeonites
<01393>

[were] not of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

but of the remnant
<03499>

of the Amorites
<0567>_;

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them: and Saul
<07586>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to slay
<05221> (8687)

them in his zeal
<07065> (8763)

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>.)

Wherefore David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Gibeonites
<01393>_,

What shall I do
<06213> (8799)

for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement
<03722> (8762)_,

that ye may bless
<01288> (8761)

the inheritance
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

And the Gibeonites
<01393>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We will have no silver
<03701>

nor gold
<02091>

of
<05973>

Saul
<07586>_,

nor of his house
<01004>_;

neither for us shalt thou kill
<04191> (8687)

any man
<0376>

in Israel
<03478>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What ye shall say
<0559> (8802)_,

[that] will I do
<06213> (8799)

for you. {We will...: or, It is not silver nor gold that we have to do with Saul or his house, neither pertains it to us to kill, etc}

And they answered
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

The man
<0376>

that consumed
<03615> (8765)

us, and that devised
<01819> (8765)

against us [that] we should be destroyed
<08045> (8738)

from remaining
<03320> (8692)

in any of the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_,

{devised...: or, cut us off}

Let seven
<07651>

men
<0582>

of his sons
<01121>

be delivered
<05414> (8714)

unto us, and we will hang them up
<03363> (8689)

unto the LORD
<03068>

in Gibeah
<01390>

of Saul
<07586>_,

[whom] the LORD
<03068>

did choose
<0972>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will give
<05414> (8799)

[them]. {whom...: or, chosen of the LORD}

But the king
<04428>

spared
<02550> (8799)

Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

because of the LORD'S
<03068>

oath
<07621>

that [was] between them, between David
<01732>

and Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_.

But the king
<04428>

took
<03947> (8799)

the two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

of Rizpah
<07532>

the daughter
<01323>

of Aiah
<0345>_,

whom she bare
<03205> (8804)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Armoni
<0764>

and Mephibosheth
<04648>_;

and the five
<02568>

sons
<01121>

of Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>_,

whom she brought up
<03205> (8804)

for Adriel
<05741>

the son
<01121>

of Barzillai
<01271>

the Meholathite
<04259>_:

{Michal: or, Michal's sister} {brought...: Heb. bear to Adriel}

And he delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of the Gibeonites
<01393>_,

and they hanged
<03363> (8686)

them in the hill
<02022>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

and they fell
<05307> (8799)

[all] seven
<07651> (8675) <07659>

together
<03162>_,

and were put to death
<04191> (8717)

in the days
<03117>

of harvest
<07105>_,

in the first
<07223>

[days], in the beginning
<08462>

of barley
<08184>

harvest
<07105>_.

And Rizpah
<07532>

the daughter
<01323>

of Aiah
<0345>

took
<03947> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>_,

and spread
<05186> (8686)

it for her upon the rock
<06697>_,

from the beginning
<08462>

of harvest
<07105>

until water
<04325>

dropped
<05413> (8738)

upon them out of heaven
<08064>_,

and suffered
<05414> (8804)

neither the birds
<05775>

of the air
<08064>

to rest
<05117> (8800)

on them by day
<03119>_,

nor the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

by night
<03915>_.

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

David
<01732>

what Rizpah
<07532>

the daughter
<01323>

of Aiah
<0345>_,

the concubine
<06370>

of Saul
<07586>_,

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

and took
<03947> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

of Saul
<07586>

and the bones
<06106>

of Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>

from the men
<01167>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,

which had stolen
<01589> (8804)

them from the street
<07339>

of Bethshan
<01052>_,

where the Philistines
<06430>

had hanged
<08511> (8804) (8675) <08518> (8804)

them, when
<03117>

the Philistines
<06430>

had slain
<05221> (8687)

Saul
<07586>

in Gilboa
<01533>_:

And he brought up
<05927> (8686)

from thence the bones
<06106>

of Saul
<07586>

and the bones
<06106>

of Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>_;

and they gathered
<0622> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

of them that were hanged
<03363> (8716)_.

And the bones
<06106>

of Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>

buried
<06912> (8799)

they in the country
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>

in Zelah
<06762>_,

in the sepulchre
<06913>

of Kish
<07027>

his father
<01>_:

and they performed
<06213> (8799)

all that the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

And after
<0310>

that God
<0430>

was intreated
<06279> (8735)

for the land
<0776>_.

Moreover the Philistines
<06430>

had yet war
<04421>

again with Israel
<03478>_;

and David
<01732>

went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and his servants
<05650>

with him, and fought
<03898> (8735)

against the Philistines
<06430>_:

and David
<01732>

waxed faint
<05774> (8799)_.

And Ishbibenob
<03430>_,

which [was] of the sons
<03211>

of the giant
<07497>_,

the weight
<04948>

of whose spear
<07013>

[weighed] three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of brass
<05178>

in weight
<04948>_,

he being girded
<02296> (8803)

with a new
<02319>

[sword], thought
<0559> (8799)

to have slain
<05221> (8687)

David
<01732>_.

{the giant: or, Rapha} {spear: Heb. the staff, or, the head}

But Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

succoured
<05826> (8799)

him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>_,

and killed
<04191> (8686)

him. Then the men
<0582>

of David
<01732>

sware
<07650> (8738)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt go
<03318> (8799)

no more out with us to battle
<04421>_,

that thou quench
<03518> (8762)

not the light
<05216>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that there was again a battle
<04421>

with the Philistines
<06430>

at Gob
<01359>_:

then Sibbechai
<05444>

the Hushathite
<02843>

slew
<05221> (8689)

Saph
<05593>_,

which [was] of the sons
<03211>

of the giant
<07497>_.

{the giant: or, Rapha} {Saph: or, Sippai}

And there was again a battle
<04421>

in Gob
<01359>

with the Philistines
<06430>_,

where Elhanan
<0445>

the son
<01121>

of Jaareoregim
<03296>_,

a Bethlehemite
<01022>_,

slew
<05221> (8686)

[the brother of] Goliath
<01555>

the Gittite
<01663>_,

the staff
<06086>

of whose spear
<02595>

[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_.

{Jaareoregim: or, Jair}

And there was yet a battle
<04421>

in Gath
<01661>_,

where was a man
<0376>

of [great] stature
<04067> (8675) <04055>_,

that had on every hand
<03027>

six
<08337>

fingers
<0676>_,

and on every foot
<07272>

six
<08337>

toes
<0676>_,

four
<0702>

and twenty
<06242>

in number
<04557>_;

and he also was born
<03205> (8795)

to the giant
<07497>_.

{the giant: or, Rapha}

And when he defied
<02778> (8762)

Israel
<03478>_,

Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Shimea
<08092>

the brother
<0251>

of David
<01732>

slew
<05221> (8686)

him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: also called, Shammah}

These four
<0702>

were born
<03205> (8795)

to the giant
<07497>

in Gath
<01661>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

by the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_,

and by the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_.
