1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of YHWH. YHWH said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.” 2 Samuel 21:1WEB
2 The king called the Gibeonites and said to 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 to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah); 2 Samuel 21:2WEB
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless YHWH’s inheritance?” 2 Samuel 21:3WEB
4 The Gibeonites said to 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.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.” 2 Samuel 21:4WEB
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel, 2 Samuel 21:5WEB
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to YHWH in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” The king said, “I will give them.” 2 Samuel 21:6WEB
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of YHWH’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 2 Samuel 21:7WEB
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 2 Samuel 21:8WEB
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before YHWH, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest. 2 Samuel 21:9WEB
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night. 2 Samuel 21:10WEB
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 2 Samuel 21:11WEB
12 So 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 killed Saul in Gilboa; 2 Samuel 21:12WEB
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged. 2 Samuel 21:13WEB
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land. 2 Samuel 21:14WEB
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint; 2 Samuel 21:15WEB
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David. 2 Samuel 21:16WEB
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.” 2 Samuel 21:17WEB
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant. 2 Samuel 21:18WEB
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 2 Samuel 21:19WEB
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant. 2 Samuel 21:20WEB
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him. 2 Samuel 21:21WEB
