1 Then there was a famine 7458 in the days 3117 of David 1732 three 7969 years 8141, year 8141 after 310 year 8141; and David 1732 enquired 1245 of 6440 the LORD 3068. And the LORD 3068 answered 559, It is for Saul 7586, and for his bloody 1818 house 1004, because he slew 4191 the Gibeonites 1393.
2 And the king 4428 called 7121 the Gibeonites 1393, and said 559 unto them; (now the Gibeonites 1393 were not of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, but of the remnant 3499 of the Amorites 567; and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 had sworn 7650 unto them: and Saul 7586 sought 1245 to slay 5221 them in his zeal 7065 to the children 1121 of Israel 3478 and Judah 3063.)
3 Wherefore David 1732 said 559 unto the Gibeonites 1393, What shall I do 6213 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement 3722, that ye may bless 1288 the inheritance 5159 of the LORD 3068?
4 And the Gibeonites 1393 said 559 unto him, We will have no silver 3701 nor gold 2091 of 5973 Saul 7586, nor of his house 1004; neither for us shalt thou kill 4191 any man 376 in Israel 3478. And he said 559, What ye shall say 559, that will I do 6213 for you.
5 And they answered 559 the king 4428, The man 376 that consumed 3615 us, and that devised 1819 against us that we should be destroyed 8045 from remaining 3320 in any of the coasts 1366 of Israel 3478,
6 Let seven 7651 men 582 of his sons 1121 be delivered 5414 unto us, and we will hang them up 3363 unto the LORD 3068 in Gibeah 1390 of Saul 7586, whom the LORD 3068 did choose 972. And the king 4428 said 559, I will give 5414 them.
7 But the king 4428 spared 2550 Mephibosheth 4648, the son 1121 of Jonathan 3083 the son 1121 of Saul 7586, because of the LORD'S 3068 oath 7621 that was between them, between David 1732 and Jonathan 3083 the son 1121 of Saul 7586.
8 But the king 4428 took 3947 the two 8147 sons 1121 of Rizpah 7532 the daughter 1323 of Aiah 345, whom she bare 3205 unto Saul 7586, Armoni 764 and Mephibosheth 4648; and the five 2568 sons 1121 of Michal 4324 the daughter 1323 of Saul 7586, whom she brought up 3205 for Adriel 5741 the son 1121 of Barzillai 1271 the Meholathite 4259:
9 And he delivered 5414 them into the hands 3027 of the Gibeonites 1393, and they hanged 3363 them in the hill 2022 before 6440 the LORD 3068: and they fell 5307 all seven 7651 7659 together 3162, and were put to death 4191 in the days 3117 of harvest 7105, in the first 7223 days, in the beginning 8462 of barley 8184 harvest 7105.
10 And Rizpah 7532 the daughter 1323 of Aiah 345 took 3947 sackcloth 8242, and spread 5186 it for her upon the rock 6697, from the beginning 8462 of harvest 7105 until water 4325 dropped 5413 upon them out of heaven 8064, and suffered 5414 neither the birds 5775 of the air 8064 to rest 5117 on them by day 3119, nor the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 by night 3915.
11 And it was told 5046 David 1732 what Rizpah 7532 the daughter 1323 of Aiah 345, the concubine 6370 of Saul 7586, had done 6213.
12 And David 1732 went 3212 and took 3947 the bones 6106 of Saul 7586 and the bones 6106 of Jonathan 3083 his son 1121 from the men 1167 of Jabeshgilead 3003 1568, which had stolen 1589 them from the street 7339 of Bethshan 1052, where the Philistines 6430 had hanged 8511 8518 them, when 3117 the Philistines 6430 had slain 5221 Saul 7586 in Gilboa 1533:
13 And he brought up 5927 from thence the bones 6106 of Saul 7586 and the bones 6106 of Jonathan 3083 his son 1121; and they gathered 622 the bones 6106 of them that were hanged 3363.
14 And the bones 6106 of Saul 7586 and Jonathan 3083 his son 1121 buried 6912 they in the country 776 of Benjamin 1144 in Zelah 6762, in the sepulchre 6913 of Kish 7027 his father 1: and they performed 6213 all that the king 4428 commanded 6680. And after 310 that God 430 was intreated 6279 for the land 776.
15 Moreover the Philistines 6430 had yet war 4421 again with Israel 3478; and David 1732 went down 3381, and his servants 5650 with him, and fought 3898 against the Philistines 6430: and David 1732 waxed faint 5774.
16 And Ishbibenob 3430, which was of the sons 3211 of the giant 7497, the weight 4948 of whose spear 7013 weighed three 7969 hundred 3967 shekels of brass 5178 in weight 4948, he being girded 2296 with a new 2319 sword, thought 559 to have slain 5221 David 1732.
17 But Abishai 52 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 succoured 5826 him, and smote 5221 the Philistine 6430, and killed 4191 him. Then the men 582 of David 1732 sware 7650 unto him, saying 559, Thou shalt go 3318 no more out with us to battle 4421, that thou quench 3518 not the light 5216 of Israel 3478.
18 And it came to pass after this 310, that there was again a battle 4421 with the Philistines 6430 at Gob 1359: then Sibbechai 5444 the Hushathite 2843 slew 5221 Saph 5593, which was of the sons 3211 of the giant 7497.
19 And there was again a battle 4421 in Gob 1359 with the Philistines 6430, where Elhanan 445 the son 1121 of Jaareoregim 3296, a Bethlehemite 1022, slew 5221 the brother of Goliath 1555 the Gittite 1663, the staff 6086 of whose spear 2595 was like a weaver's 707 beam 4500.
20 And there was yet a battle 4421 in Gath 1661, where was a man 376 of great stature 4067 4055, that had on every hand 3027 six 8337 fingers 676, and on every foot 7272 six 8337 toes 676, four 702 and twenty 6242 in number 4557; and he also was born 3205 to the giant 7497.
21 And when he defied 2778 Israel 3478, Jonathan 3083 the son 1121 of Shimea 8092 the brother 251 of David 1732 slew 5221 him.
22 These four 702 were born 3205 to the giant 7497 in Gath 1661, and fell 5307 by the hand 3027 of David 1732, and by the hand 3027 of his servants 5650.
