1
Now there was a famine
in the days
of David
for three
years,
year
after
year
;
and David
sought
the presence
of the LORD.
And the LORD
said,
"It is for Saul
and his bloody
house,
because
he put
the Gibeonites
to death."
2
So the king
called
the Gibeonites
and spoke
to them (now
the Gibeonites
were not of the sons
of Israel
but of the remnant
of the Amorites,
and the sons
of Israel
made a covenant
with them, but Saul
had sought
to kill
them in his zeal
for the sons
of Israel
and Judah).
3
Thus David
said
to the Gibeonites,
"What
should I do
for you? And how
can I make atonement
that you may bless
the inheritance
of the LORD?"
4
Then the Gibeonites
said
to him, "We have
no
concern of silver
or gold
with Saul
or his house,
nor
is it for us to put
any man
to death
in Israel."
And he
said
,
"I will do
for you whatever
you say."
5
So they said
to the king,
"The man
who
consumed
us and
who
planned
to exterminate
us from remaining
within any
border
of Israel,
6
let seven
men
from his sons
be given
to us, and we will hang
them before the LORD
in Gibeah
of Saul,
the chosen
of the LORD."
And the king
said,
"I will give
them."
7
But the king
spared
Mephibosheth,
the
son
of Jonathan
the
son
of Saul,
because
of the oath
of the LORD
which
was between
them, between
David
and Saul's
son
Jonathan.
8
So the king
took
the two
sons
of Rizpah
the daughter
of Aiah,
Armoni
and Mephibosheth
whom
she had borne
to Saul,
and the five
sons
of Merab
the daughter
of Saul,
whom
she had borne
to Adriel
the son
of Barzillai
the Meholathite.
9
Then he gave
them into the hands
of the Gibeonites,
and they hanged
them in the mountain
before
the LORD,
so that the seven
of them fell
together;
and they were put to death
in the first
days
of harvest
at the beginning
of barley
harvest.
10
And Rizpah
the daughter
of Aiah
took
sackcloth
and spread
it for herself on the rock,
from the beginning
of harvest
until
it rained
on them from the sky;
and she allowed
neither
the birds
of the sky
to rest
on them by day
nor
the beasts
of the field
by night.
11
When it was told
David
what
Rizpah
the daughter
of Aiah,
the concubine
of Saul,
had done,
12
then David
went
and took
the bones
of
Saul
and
the bones
of Jonathan
his son
from the men
of Jabesh-gilead,
who
had stolen
them from the open square
of Beth-shan,
where
the Philistines
had hanged
them on the day
the Philistines
struck down
Saul
in Gilboa.
13
He brought
up
the bones
of Saul
and
the bones
of Jonathan
his son
from there,
and they gathered
the bones
of those who had been hanged.
14
They buried
the bones
of Saul
and Jonathan
his son
in the country
of Benjamin
in Zela,
in the grave
of Kish
his father;
thus they did
all
that the king
commanded,
and after
that God
was moved by prayer
for the land.
15
Now when the Philistines
were at war
again
with Israel,
David
went down
and his servants
with him; and as they fought
again
st
the Philistines,
David
became weary.
16
Then Ishbi-benob,
who
was among the descendants
of the giant,
the weight
of whose spear
was three
hundred
shekels of bronze
in weight,
was girded
with a new
sword, and he intended
to kill
David.
17
But Abishai
the
so
n
of Zeruiah
helped
him, and struck
the Philistine
and killed
him. Then
the men
of David
swore
to him, saying,
"You shall not go
out again
with us to battle,
so
that you do not extinguish
the lamp
of Israel."
18
Now it came
about after
this
that there was war
again
with the Philistines
at Gob;
then
Sibbecai
the Hushathite
struck down
Saph,
who
was among the descendants
of the giant.
19
There was war
with the Philistines
again
at Gob,
and Elhanan
the son
of Jaare-oregim
the Bethlehemite
killed
Goliath
the Gittite,
the shaft
of whose spear
was like a weaver's
beam.
20
There was war
at Gath
again,
where there was a man
of great stature
who had six
fingers
on each hand
and six
toes
on each foot,
twenty-four
in number;
and he also
had been born
to the giant.
21
When he defied
Israel,
Jonathan
the son
of Shimei,
David's
brother,
struck him down.
22
These
four
were born
to the giant
in Gath,
and they fell
by the hand
of David
and
by the hand
of his servants.
