2nd Samuel Chapter 21 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then there was a famine <H7458> in the days <H3117> of David <H1732> three <H7969> years, <H8141> year <H8141> after <H0310> year; <H8141> and David <H1732> enquired <H1245> of <H6440> the LORD. <H3068> And the LORD <H3068> answered, <H0559> [It is] for Saul, <H7586> and for [his] bloody <H1818> house, <H1004> because he slew <H4191> the Gibeonites. <H1393>
2: And the king <H4428> called <H7121> the Gibeonites, <H1393> and said <H0559> unto them; (now the Gibeonites <H1393> [were] not of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> but of the remnant <H3499> of the Amorites; <H0567> and the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> had sworn <H7650> unto them: and Saul <H7586> sought <H1245> to slay <H5221> them in his zeal <H7065> to the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> and Judah.) <H3063>
3: Wherefore David <H1732> said <H0559> unto the Gibeonites, <H1393> What shall I do <H6213> for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, <H3722> that ye may bless <H1288> the inheritance <H5159> of the LORD? <H3068>
4: And the Gibeonites <H1393> said <H0559> unto him, We will have no silver <H3701> nor gold <H2091> of <H5973> Saul, <H7586> nor of his house; <H1004> neither for us shalt thou kill <H4191> any man <H0376> in Israel. <H3478> And he said, <H0559> What ye shall say, <H0559> [that] will I do <H6213> for you.
5: And they answered <H0559> the king, <H4428> The man <H0376> that consumed <H3615> us, and that devised <H1819> against us [that] we should be destroyed <H8045> from remaining <H3320> in any of the coasts <H1366> of Israel, <H3478>
6: Let seven <H7651> men <H0582> of his sons <H1121> be delivered <H5414> unto us, and we will hang them up <H3363> unto the LORD <H3068> in Gibeah <H1390> of Saul, <H7586> [whom] the LORD <H3068> did choose. <H0972> And the king <H4428> said, <H0559> I will give <H5414> [them].
7: But the king <H4428> spared <H2550> Mephibosheth, <H4648> the son <H1121> of Jonathan <H3083> the son <H1121> of Saul, <H7586> because of the LORD'S <H3068> oath <H7621> that [was] between them, between David <H1732> and Jonathan <H3083> the son <H1121> of Saul. <H7586>
8: But the king <H4428> took <H3947> the two <H8147> sons <H1121> of Rizpah <H7532> the daughter <H1323> of Aiah, <H0345> whom she bare <H3205> unto Saul, <H7586> Armoni <H0764> and Mephibosheth; <H4648> and the five <H2568> sons <H1121> of Michal <H4324> the daughter <H1323> of Saul, <H7586> whom she brought up <H3205> for Adriel <H5741> the son <H1121> of Barzillai <H1271> the Meholathite: <H4259>
9: And he delivered <H5414> them into the hands <H3027> of the Gibeonites, <H1393> and they hanged <H3363> them in the hill <H2022> before <H6440> the LORD: <H3068> and they fell <H5307> [all] seven <H7651> <H7659> together, <H3162> and were put to death <H4191> in the days <H3117> of harvest, <H7105> in the first <H7223> [days], in the beginning <H8462> of barley <H8184> harvest. <H7105>
10: And Rizpah <H7532> the daughter <H1323> of Aiah <H0345> took <H3947> sackcloth, <H8242> and spread <H5186> it for her upon the rock, <H6697> from the beginning <H8462> of harvest <H7105> until water <H4325> dropped <H5413> upon them out of heaven, <H8064> and suffered <H5414> neither the birds <H5775> of the air <H8064> to rest <H5117> on them by day, <H3119> nor the beasts <H2416> of the field <H7704> by night. <H3915>
11: And it was told <H5046> David <H1732> what Rizpah <H7532> the daughter <H1323> of Aiah, <H0345> the concubine <H6370> of Saul, <H7586> had done. <H6213>
12: And David <H1732> went <H3212> and took <H3947> the bones <H6106> of Saul <H7586> and the bones <H6106> of Jonathan <H3083> his son <H1121> from the men <H1167> of Jabeshgilead, <H3003> <H1568> which had stolen <H1589> them from the street <H7339> of Bethshan, <H1052> where the Philistines <H6430> had hanged <H8511> them, when <H3117> the Philistines <H6430> had slain <H5221> Saul <H7586> in Gilboa: <H1533>
13: And he brought up <H5927> from thence the bones <H6106> of Saul <H7586> and the bones <H6106> of Jonathan <H3083> his son; <H1121> and they gathered <H0622> the bones <H6106> of them that were hanged. <H3363>
14: And the bones <H6106> of Saul <H7586> and Jonathan <H3083> his son <H1121> buried <H6912> they in the country <H0776> of Benjamin <H1144> in Zelah, <H6762> in the sepulchre <H6913> of Kish <H7027> his father: <H0001> and they performed <H6213> all that the king <H4428> commanded. <H6680> And after <H0310> that God <H0430> was intreated <H6279> for the land. <H0776>
15: Moreover the Philistines <H6430> had yet war <H4421> again with Israel; <H3478> and David <H1732> went down, <H3381> and his servants <H5650> with him, and fought <H3898> against the Philistines: <H6430> and David <H1732> waxed faint. <H5774>
16: And Ishbibenob, <H3430> which [was] of the sons <H3211> of the giant, <H7498> the weight <H4948> of whose spear <H7013> [weighed] three <H7969> hundred <H3967> [shekels] of brass <H5178> in weight, <H4948> he being girded <H2296> with a new <H2319> [sword], thought <H0559> to have slain <H5221> David. <H1732>
17: But Abishai <H0052> the son <H1121> of Zeruiah <H6870> succoured <H5826> him, and smote <H5221> the Philistine, <H6430> and killed <H4191> him. Then the men <H0582> of David <H1732> sware <H7650> unto him, saying, <H0559> Thou shalt go no more out <H3318> with us to battle, <H4421> that thou quench <H3518> not the light <H5216> of Israel. <H3478>
18: And it came to pass after <H0310> this, that there was again a battle <H4421> with the Philistines <H6430> at Gob: <H1359> then Sibbechai <H5444> the Hushathite <H2843> slew <H5221> Saph, <H5593> which [was] of the sons <H3211> of the giant. <H7498>
19: And there was again a battle <H4421> in Gob <H1359> with the Philistines, <H6430> where Elhanan <H0445> the son <H1121> of Jaareoregim, <H3296> a Bethlehemite, <H1022> slew <H5221> [the brother of] Goliath <H1555> the Gittite, <H1663> the staff <H6086> of whose spear <H2595> [was] like a weaver's <H0707> beam. <H4500>
20: And there was yet a battle <H4421> in Gath, <H1661> where was a man <H0376> of [great] stature, <H4067> <H4055> that had on every hand <H3027> six <H8337> fingers, <H0676> and on every foot <H7272> six <H8337> toes, <H0676> four <H0702> and twenty <H6242> in number; <H4557> and he also was born <H3205> to the giant. <H7498>
21: And when he defied <H2778> Israel, <H3478> Jonathan <H3083> the son <H1121> of Shimea <H8092> the brother <H0251> of David <H1732> slew <H5221> him.
22: These four <H0702> were born <H3205> to the giant <H7498> in Gath, <H1661> and fell <H5307> by the hand <H3027> of David, <H1732> and by the hand <H3027> of his servants. <H5650>
