2 Samuel, Chapter 21

¹ Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.” ² So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel^a Lit had sworn tomade a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to^b Lit smitekill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah). ³ Thus David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And how can I make atonement that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?” ⁴ Then the Gibeonites said to him, “We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” And he said, “I will do for you whatever you say.” ⁵ So they said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who planned^cto exterminate us from remaining within any border of Israel, ⁶ let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will^d Lit expose themhang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” And the king said, “I will give them.”	1 Gen 12:10 Gen 26:1 Gen 42:5 Num 27:21 2 Jos 9:3 Jos 9:15-20 3 Sa1 26:19 Sa2 20:19 4 Num 35:31 Num 35:32 5 Sa2 21:1 6 Num 25:4 Sa1 10:24
⁷ But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD which was between them, between David and Saul’s son Jonathan. ⁸ So the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Armoni and Mephibosheth whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of^e So Gr and Heb mssMerab the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. ⁹ Then he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they^f Lit exposed themhanged them in the mountain before the LORD, so that the seven of them fell together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.	7 Sa2 4:4 Sa2 9:10 Sa1 18:3 Sa1 20:12-17 Sa1 23:18 Sa2 9:1-7 8 Sa2 3:7 Sa1 18:19 Ki1 19:16 9 Exo 9:31 Exo 9:32
¹⁰ And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until^g Lit water was pouredit rained on them from the sky; and she^h Lit gaveallowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night. ¹¹ When it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, ¹² then 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 open square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines struck down Saul in Gilboa. ¹³ He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of those who had beenⁱ Lit exposedhanged. ¹⁴ They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the grave of Kish his father; thus they did all that the king commanded, and after that God was moved by prayer for the land.	10 Deu 21:23 Sa1 17:44 Sa1 17:46 12 Sa1 31:11-13 Jos 17:11 Sa1 31:10 Sa1 31:3 Sa1 31:4 14 Jos 18:28 Jos 7:26 Sa2 24:25
¹⁵ Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary. ¹⁶ Then Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of the^j Heb Raphahgiant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight,^k Lit and he waswas girded with a new sword, and he^l Lit saidintended to kill David. 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, “You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”	15 Sa2 5:17-25 16 Num 13:22 Num 13:28 Jos 15:14 Sa2 21:18-22 17 Sa2 20:6-10 Sa2 18:3 Sa2 22:29
¹⁸ Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of the^m Heb Raphahgiant. ¹⁹ There was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemiteⁿ Lit smotekilled^oGoliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ²⁰ There was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also had been born to the^p Heb Raphahgiant. ²¹ When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck him down. ²² These four were born to the^q Heb Raphahgiant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.	18 Ch1 20:4-8 Ch1 11:29 Ch1 27:11 19 Sa1 17:7 20 Sa2 21:16 Sa2 21:18 22 Ch1 20:8
