1. Then there was H1961 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 H6440 of the LORD H3068 . And the LORD H3068 answered H559 , It is for H413 Saul H7586 , and for H413 his bloody H1818 house H1004 , because H5921 H834 he slew H4191 H853 the Gibeonites H1393 .
|
|
2. And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but are of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
|
2. And the king H4428 called H7121 the Gibeonites H1393 , and said H559 unto H413 them; (now the Gibeonites H1393 were not H3808 of the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 , but H3588 H518 of the remnant H4480 H3499 of the Amorites H567 ; and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had sworn H7650 unto them : and Saul H7586 sought H1245 to slay H5221 them in his zeal H7065 to the children H1121 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 .)
|
|
3. And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
|
3. Wherefore David H1732 said H559 unto H413 the Gibeonites H1393 , What H4100 shall I do H6213 for you? and wherewith H4100 shall I make the atonement H3722 , that ye may bless H1288 H853 the inheritance H5159 of the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
4. And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no question about silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
|
4. And the Gibeonites H1393 said H559 unto him , We will have no H369 silver H3701 nor gold H2091 of H5973 Saul H7586 , nor of H5973 his house H1004 ; neither H369 for us shalt thou kill H4191 any man H376 in Israel H3478 . And he said H559 , What H4100 ye H859 shall say H559 , that will I do H6213 for you.
|
|
5. And he said, What say ye? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
|
5. And they answered H559 H413 the king H4428 , The man H376 that H834 consumed H3615 us , and that H834 devised H1819 against us that we should be destroyed H8045 from remaining H4480 H3320 in any H3605 of the coasts H1366 of Israel H3478 ,
|
|
6. Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
|
6. Let seven H7651 men H376 of his sons H4480 H1121 be delivered H5414 unto us , and we will hang H3363 them up unto the LORD H3068 in Gibeah H1390 of Saul H7586 , whom the LORD H3068 did choose H972 . And the king H4428 said H559 , I H589 will give H5414 them .
|
|
7. But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
|
7. But the king H4428 spared H2550 H5921 Mephibosheth H4648 , the son H1121 of Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Saul H7586 , because H5921 of the LORD H3068 's oath H7621 that H834 was between H996 them, between H996 David H1732 and Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Saul H7586 .
|
|
8. And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
|
8. But the king H4428 took H3947 H853 the two H8147 sons H1121 of Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 , whom H834 she bore H3205 unto Saul H7586 , H853 Armoni H764 and Mephibosheth H4648 ; and the five H2568 sons H1121 of Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 , whom H834 she brought up H3205 for Adriel H5741 the son H1121 of Barzillai H1271 the Meholathite H4259 :
|
|
9. And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley-harvest.
|
9. 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 H3117 of harvest H7105 , in the first H7223 days , in the beginning H8462 of barley H8184 harvest H7105 .
|
|
10. And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
|
10. And Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 took H3947 H853 sackcloth H8242 , and spread H5186 it for her upon H413 the rock H6697 , from the beginning H4480 H8462 of harvest H7105 until H5704 water H4325 dropped H5413 upon H5921 them out of H4480 heaven H8064 , and suffered H5414 neither H3808 the birds H5775 of the air H8064 to rest H5117 on H5921 them by day H3119 , nor the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 by night H3915 .
|
|
|
11. And it was told H5046 David H1732 H853 what H834 Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 , the concubine H6370 of Saul H7586 , had done H6213 .
|
|
12. And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines smote Saul in Gelbue.
|
12. And David H1732 went H1980 and took H3947 H853 the bones H6106 of Saul H7586 and the bones H6106 of Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 from H4480 H854 the men H1167 of Jabesh H3003 H1568 -gilead, which H834 had stolen H1589 them from the street H4480 H7339 of Beth H1052 -shan, where H834 H8033 the Philistines H6430 had hanged H8511 them, when H3117 the Philistines H6430 had slain H5221 H853 Saul H7586 in Gilboa H1533 :
|
|
13. And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
|
13. And he brought up H5927 from thence H4480 H8033 H853 the bones H6106 of Saul H7586 and the bones H6106 of Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 ; and they gathered H622 H853 the bones H6106 of them that were hanged H3363 .
|
|
14. And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God hearkened to the prayers of the land.
|
14. And H853 the bones H6106 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 buried H6912 they in the country H776 of Benjamin H1144 in Zelah H6762 , in the sepulcher H6913 of Kish H7027 his father H1 : and they performed H6213 all H3605 that H834 the king H4428 commanded H6680 . And after that H310 H3651 God H430 was entreated H6279 for the land H776 .
|
|
15. And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
|
15. Moreover the Philistines H6430 had H1961 yet war H4421 again with H854 Israel H3478 ; and David H1732 went down H3381 , and his servants H5650 with H5973 him , and fought against H3898 H853 the Philistines H6430 : and David H1732 waxed faint H5774 .
|
|
16. And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girt with a club, even he thought to smite David.
|
16. And Ishbibenob H3430 , which H834 was of the sons H3211 of the giant H7498 , the weight H4948 of whose spear H7013 weighed three H7969 hundred H3967 shekels of brass H5178 in weight H4948 , he H1931 being girded H2296 with a new H2319 sword , thought H559 to have slain H5221 H853 David H1732 .
|
|
17. And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then the men of David swore, saying, Thou shalt not any longer go out with us to battle, and thou shalt not quench the lamp of Israel.
|
17. But Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 succored H5826 him , and smote H5221 H853 the Philistine H6430 , and killed H4191 him. Then H227 the men H376 of David H1732 swore H7650 unto him, saying H559 , Thou shalt go H3318 no H3808 more H5750 out with us to battle H4421 , that thou quench H3518 not H3808 H853 the light H5216 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
18. And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite slew Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
|
18. And it came to pass H1961 after H310 this H3651 , that there was H1961 again H5750 a battle H4421 with H5973 the Philistines H6430 at Gob H1359 : then H227 Sibbechai H5444 the Hushathite H2843 slew H5221 H853 Saph H5593 , which H834 was of the sons H3211 of the giant H7498 .
|
|
19. And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear was as a weaver’s beam.
|
19. And there was H1961 again H5750 a battle H4421 in Gob H1359 with H5973 the Philistines H6430 , where Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Jaare H3296 -oregim , a Bethlehemite H1022 , slew H5221 the brother of H853 Goliath H1555 the Gittite H1663 , the staff H6086 of whose spear H2595 was like a weaver H707 's beam H4500 .
|
|
|
20. And there was H1961 yet H5750 a battle H4421 in Gath H1661 , where was H1961 a man H376 of great stature H4055 , that had on every hand H3027 six H8337 fingers H676 , and on every foot H7272 six H8337 toes H676 , four H702 and twenty H6242 in number H4557 ; and he H1931 also H1571 was born H3205 to the giant H7498 .
|
|
|
21. And when he defied H2778 H853 Israel H3478 , Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Shimea H8092 the brother H251 of David H1732 slew H5221 him.
|
|
22. These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
|
22. These H428 H853 four H702 were born H3205 to the giant H7498 in Gath H1661 , and fell H5307 by the hand H3027 of David H1732 , and by the hand H3027 of his servants H5650 .
