2 Samuel 21:1
|
|
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 put to death the Gibeonites. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:2 |
|
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said
unto them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant
of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought
to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah); |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:3 |
|
and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall
I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance
of Jehovah? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:4 |
|
And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter
of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put
any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for
you. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:5 |
|
And they said unto the king, The man that consumed
us, and that devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in
any of the borders of Israel, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:6 |
|
let seven men of his sons be delivered unto
us, and we will hang them up unto Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.
And the king said, I will give them. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:7 |
|
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of
Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between
David and Jonathan the son of Saul. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:8 |
|
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the
daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five
sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai
the Meholathite: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:9 |
|
And he delivered them into the hands of the
Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell
all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the
first days, at the beginning of barley harvest. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:10 |
|
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth,
and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water
was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the heavens
to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:11 |
|
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter
of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:12 |
|
And 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 street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day
that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa; |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:13 |
|
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul
and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of them that were
hanged. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:14 |
|
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan
his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father:
and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated
for the land. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:15 |
|
And the Philistines had war again with Israel;
and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines.
And David waxed faint; |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:16 |
|
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant,
the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being
girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:17 |
|
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him,
and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him,
saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the
lamp of Israel. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:18 |
|
And it came to pass after this, that there was
again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph,
who was of the sons of the giant. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:19 |
|
And there was again war with the Philistines
at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the
Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:20 |
|
And there was again war at Gath, where was a
man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six
toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:21 |
|
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son
of Shimei, David's brother, slew him. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 21:22 |
|
These four were born to the giant in Gath; and
they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. |
