1. And there was a famine in the days of David, three years, year after year. And David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul and for his bloody house, because he killed the Gibeonites.
|
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 the king called for the Gibeonites and said to them (as to the Gibeonites, they were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them) and Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah.
|
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 Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I atone, and you bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
|
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 Gibeonites said to him, We will have neither silver nor gold by Saul and by his house. Also, we will have no man in Israel put to death. And he said, What you say, I will do for you.
|
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 they said to the king, The man who destroyed us and schemed against us that we be wasted from standing in all the border of Israel was Saul.
|
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 be given to us seven men of his sons to us. And we will expose them to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will deliver 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 Jonathan's son Mephibosheth the son of Saul because of the oath of Jehovah that was between them, 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 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth. And he took the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
|
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 hands of the Gibeonites. And they exposed them in the mountain before Jehovah. And the seven fell together. And they were executed in the days of harvest, in the first days, 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 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and stretched it out for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens. And she did not allow a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day nor the beast 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 that which Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Saul's concubine, had done was told to David.
|
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 his son Jonathan from the rulers of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the plaza of Beth-shan, there where the Philistines hanged them in the day the Philistines struck Saul in Gilboa.
|
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 brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from there, and they gathered up the bones of those 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 of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying place of his father Kish, and did all that the king had commanded. And afterward God heard prayer for 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 again the Philistines warred with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him. And they fought with the Philistines. And David was weary.
|
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 Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of Rapha the giant, the weight of his spear being three hundred bronze shekels in weight, and was girded with a new sword, even he said to strike 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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, You shall not again go out with us to battle, that you not cause the lamp of Israel to go out.
|
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 it happened after this that the battle was again in Gob of the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite struck Saph, who was among the sons 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 again the battle was in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck one of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear was like 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 again the battle was in Gath, and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands were six, and the fingers of his feet six, twenty four in number. And he also had been born to Rapha.
|
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 he cursed Israel; and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimeah, struck him.
|
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 here born to Rapha the giant in Gath. And they fell by the hand of David, by the hand of his servants.
