Then there was a famineH7458 in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 threeH7969 yearsH8141, yearH8141 afterH310 yearH8141; and DavidH1732 enquiredH1245 ofH6440 the LORDH3068. And the LORDH3068 answeredH559, It is for SaulH7586, and for his bloodyH1818 houseH1004, because he slewH4191 the GibeonitesH1393. {enquired…: Heb. sought the face, etc}
And the kingH4428 calledH7121 the GibeonitesH1393, and saidH559 unto them; (now the GibeonitesH1393 were not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, but of the remnantH3499 of the AmoritesH567; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650 unto them: and SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to slayH5221 them in his zealH7065 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.)
Wherefore DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the GibeonitesH1393, What shall I doH6213 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonementH3722, that ye may blessH1288 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?
And the GibeonitesH1393 saidH559 unto him, We will have no silverH3701 nor goldH2091 ofH5973 SaulH7586, nor of his houseH1004; neither for us shalt thou killH4191 any manH376 in IsraelH3478. And he saidH559, What ye shall sayH559, that will I doH6213 for you. {We will…: or, It is not silver nor gold that we have to do with Saul or his house, neither pertains it to us to kill, etc}
And they answeredH559 the kingH4428, The manH376 that consumedH3615 us, and that devisedH1819 against us that we should be destroyedH8045 from remainingH3320 in any of the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478, {devised…: or, cut us off}
Let sevenH7651 menH582 of his sonsH1121 be deliveredH5414 unto us, and we will hang them upH3363 unto the LORDH3068 in GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586, whom the LORDH3068 did chooseH972. And the kingH4428 saidH559, I will giveH5414 them. {whom…: or, chosen of the LORD}
But the kingH4428 sparedH2550 MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, because of the LORD'SH3068 oathH7621 that was between them, between DavidH1732 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586.
But the kingH4428 tookH3947 the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345, whom she bareH3205 unto SaulH7586, ArmoniH764 and MephiboshethH4648; and the fiveH2568 sonsH1121 of MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586, whom she brought upH3205 for AdrielH5741 the sonH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the MeholathiteH4259: {Michal: or, Michal's sister} {brought…: Heb. bare to Adriel}
And he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of the GibeonitesH1393, and they hangedH3363 them in the hillH2022 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they fellH5307 all sevenH7651+H7659 togetherH3162, and were put to deathH4191 in the daysH3117 of harvestH7105, in the firstH7223 days, in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
And RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345 tookH3947 sackclothH8242, and spreadH5186 it for her upon the rockH6697, from the beginningH8462 of harvestH7105 until waterH4325 droppedH5413 upon them out of heavenH8064, and sufferedH5414 neither the birdsH5775 of the airH8064 to restH5117 on them by dayH3119, nor the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 by nightH3915.
And it was toldH5046 DavidH1732 what RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345, the concubineH6370 of SaulH7586, had doneH6213.
And DavidH1732 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 from the menH1167 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568, which had stolenH1589 them from the streetH7339 of BethshanH1052, where the PhilistinesH6430 had hangedH8511+H8518 them, whenH3117 the PhilistinesH6430 had slainH5221 SaulH7586 in GilboaH1533:
And he brought upH5927 from thence the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his sonH1121; and they gatheredH622 the bonesH6106 of them that were hangedH3363.
And the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 buriedH6912 they in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144 in ZelahH6762, in the sepulchreH6913 of KishH7027 his fatherH1: and they performedH6213 all that the kingH4428 commandedH6680. And afterH310 that GodH430 was intreatedH6279 for the landH776.
Moreover the PhilistinesH6430 had yet warH4421 again with IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 went downH3381, and his servantsH5650 with him, and foughtH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430: and DavidH1732 waxed faintH5774.
And IshbibenobH3430, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 weighed threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of brassH5178 in weightH4948, he being girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, thoughtH559 to have slainH5221 DavidH1732. {the giant: or, Rapha} {spear: Heb. the staff, or, the head}
But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 succouredH5826 him, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and killedH4191 him. Then the menH582 of DavidH1732 swareH7650 unto him, sayingH559, Thou shalt goH3318 no more out with us to battleH4421, that thou quenchH3518 not the lightH5216 of IsraelH3478. {light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
And it came to pass after thisH310, that there was again a battleH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430 at GobH1359: then SibbechaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slewH5221 SaphH5593, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497. {the giant: or, Rapha} {Saph: or, Sippai}
And there was again a battleH4421 in GobH1359 with the PhilistinesH6430, where ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of JaareoregimH3296, a BethlehemiteH1022, slewH5221 the brother of GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, the staffH6086 of whose spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500. {Jaareoregim: or, Jair}
And there was yet a battleH4421 in GathH1661, where was a manH376 of great statureH4067+H4055, that had on every handH3027 sixH8337 fingersH676, and on every footH7272 sixH8337 toesH676, fourH702 and twentyH6242 in numberH4557; and he also was bornH3205 to the giantH7497. {the giant: or, Rapha}
And when he defiedH2778 IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092 the brotherH251 of DavidH1732 slewH5221 him. {defied: or, reproached}
These fourH702 were bornH3205 to the giantH7497 in GathH1661, and fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.

And JonathanH3083, Saul'sH7586 sonH1121, had a sonH1121 that was lameH5223 of his feetH7272. He was fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the tidingsH8052 cameH935 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 out of JezreelH3157, and his nurseH539 took him upH5375, and fledH5127: and it came to pass, as she made hasteH2648 to fleeH5127, that he fellH5307, and became lameH6452. And his nameH8034 was MephiboshethH4648. {Mephibosheth: or, Meribbaal}
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
Thou therefore, and thy sonsH1121, and thy servantsH5650, shall tillH5647 the landH127 for him, and thou shalt bringH935 in the fruits, that thy master'sH113 sonH1121 may have foodH3899 to eatH398: but MephiboshethH4648 thy master'sH113 sonH1121 shall eatH398 breadH3899 alwayH8548 at my tableH7979. Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568+H6240 sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650.
Therefore thou shalt dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935 thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beH3426 in me iniquityH5771, slayH4191 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringH935 me to thy fatherH1?
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humblyH7812 beseech thee that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428. {I humbly…: Heb. I do obeisance}
But also thou shalt not cut offH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 hath cut offH3772 the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And it came to pass, when he was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 to meetH7125 the kingH4428, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore wentestH1980 not thou with me, MephiboshethH4648?
And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315. {because…: or, by his love toward him}
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, GoH3212 in peaceH7965, forasmuch as we have swornH7650 bothH8147 of us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 be between me and thee, and between my seedH2233 and thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769. And he aroseH6965 and departedH3212: and JonathanH3083 wentH935 into the cityH5892. {forasmuch…: or, the LORD be witness of that which etc}
