The Second Book of Samuel 21

21And there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David sought the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh said, “To Saul and to the house belongs blood, because he killed the Gibeonites.”

2And the king called to the Gibeonites, and he spoke to them. And the Gibeonites were not from the sons of Israel; they were rather from the remnant of the Amorites. But the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah. 3And David said to the Gibeonites, “What can I do for you? And how can I atone that you would bless the inheritance of Yahweh?”

4And the Gibeonites said to him, “There is no silver or gold for us with Saul or with his house. And there is not for us a person to kill in Israel.”

And he said, “What are you saying I can do for you?”

5And they said to the king, “The man who finished us and who intended for us—we are destroyed so that we do not stand in all the borders of Israel—6let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh at Gibeah of Saul, chosen of Yahweh.”

And the king said, “I myself will give.”

7And the king had compassion on Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul on account of the oath of Yahweh which was between them, between David and between Jonathan the son of Saul. 8And the king took two of the sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite. 9And he gave them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hung them on the mountain to the face of Yahweh, and they fell, the seven of them together. And they themselves died in the days of the harvest, in the first ones, the beginning of the harvest of barley.

10And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and she spread it for herself on the rock from the beginning of the harvest until the waters poured out on them from the heavens. And she did not give a bird of the heavens to stop on them by day, or the animals of the field by night. 11And it was declared to David that which Rizpah the daughter of Aiah the concubine of Saul had done.

12And David went, and he took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the masters of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung them there on the day the Philistines had struck Saul at Gilboa. 13And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the people who had been hanged.

14And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father, and they did everything that the king commanded. And God was entreated for the land after that.

15And the war belonged again to the Philistines with Israel. And David went down and his servants with him, and they fought the Philistines. And David was weary. 16And Ishbi-Benob, who was among the children of the giants, and the weight of his spear was 300 weights of bronze, and he was girded anew—and he said he would strike David. 17And Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he struck the Philistine, and he killed him. Then, the men of David swore to him, saying, “You will not go out anymore with us to war, that you will not quench the lamp of Israel.”

18And it happened after thus, and the war was again at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Saph, who was among the children of the giants.

19And the war was again at Gob with the Philistines. And Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck Goliath the Gittite and the wood of his spear was like the beam of a weaver.

20And a war was again at Gath, and there was a man of strife, and the fingers of his hand and the toes of his feet were six and six—24 in number. And he also was born to the giants. 21And he taunted Israel, and Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David struck him.

22These four were born to the giants in Gath. And they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
