Chapter 21
Then
there
was
a
famine
in
the
dayes
of
Dauid
three
yeeres,
yeere
after
yeere,
and
Dauid
enquired
of
the
Lord.
And
the
Lord
answered,
It
is
for
Saul,
and
for
his
bloodie
house,
because
he
slew
the
Gibeonites.
2
And
the
king
called
the
Gibeonites,
and
said
vnto
them,
(now
the
Gibeonites
were
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
but
of
the
remnant
of
the
Amorites,
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
sworne
vnto
them:
and
Saul
sought
to
slay
them,
in
his
zeale
to
the
children
of
Israel
and
Iudah)
3
Wherefore
Dauid
said
vnto
the
Gibeonites,
What
shall
I
doe
for
you?
and
wherwith
shall
I
make
the
atonement,
that
ye
may
blesse
the
inheritance
of
the
Lord?
4
And
the
Gibeonites
saide
vnto
him,
We
will
haue
no
siluer
nor
golde
of
Saul,
nor
of
his
house,
neither
for
vs
shalt
thou
kill
any
man
in
Israel.
And
he
said,
What
you
shall
say,
that
will
I
doe
for
you.
5
And
they
answered
the
king,
The
man
that
consumed
vs,
and
that
deuised
against
vs,
that
we
should
be
destroied
from
remaining
in
any
of
the
coasts
of
Israel,
6
Let
seuen
men
of
his
sonnes
bee
deliuered
vnto
vs,
and
wee
will
hang
them
vp
vnto
the
Lord
in
Gibeah
of
Saul,
whome
the
Lord
did
chuse.
And
the
king
said,
I
will
giue
them.
7
But
the
king
spared
Mephibosheth
the
sonne
of
Ionathan
the
sonne
of
Saul,
because
of
the
Lords
othe
that
was
between
them,
betweene
Dauid,
and
Ionathan
the
sonne
of
Saul.
8
But
the
king
tooke
the
two
sons
of
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah,
whom
she
bare
vnto
Saul,
Armoni
and
Mephibosheth,
and
the
fiue
sonnes
of
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul,
whome
she
brought
vp
for
Adriel
the
sonne
of
Barzillai
the
Meholathite.
9
And
hee
deliuered
them
into
the
hands
of
the
Gibeonites,
and
they
hanged
them
in
the
hill
before
the
Lord:
and
they
fell
all
seuen
together,
and
were
put
to
death
in
the
dayes
of
haruest,
in
the
first
dayes,
in
the
beginning
of
barley
haruest.
10
And
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah
tooke
sackecloth,
and
spread
it
for
her
vpon
the
rocke,
from
the
beginning
of
haruest,
vntill
water
dropped
vpon
them
out
of
heauen,
and
suffered
neither
the
birds
of
the
aire
to
rest
on
them
by
day,
nor
the
beastes
of
the
fielde
by
night.
11
And
it
was
tolde
Dauid
what
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah
the
concubine
of
Saul
had
done.
12
And
Dauid
went
and
tooke
the
bones
of
Saul,
and
the
bones
of
Ionathan
his
sonne
from
the
men
of
Iabesh
Gilead,
which
had
stollen
them
from
the
street
of
Bethshan
where
the
Philistines
had
hanged
them,
when
the
Philistines
had
slaine
Saul
in
Gilboa.
13
And
hee
brought
vp
from
thence
the
bones
of
Saul,
and
the
bones
of
Ionathan
his
sonne,
and
they
gathered
the
bones
of
them
that
were
hanged.
14
And
the
bones
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
his
sonne
buried
they
in
the
countrey
of
Beniamin
in
Zelah,
in
the
sepulchre
of
Kish
his
father:
and
they
perfourmed
all
that
the
king
commanded:
and
after
that,
God
was
entreated
for
the
land.
15
Moreouer,
the
Philistines
had
yet
warre
againe
with
Israel,
and
Dauid
went
down,
and
his
seruants
with
him,
and
fought
against
the
Philistines,
and
Dauid
waxed
faint.
16
And
Ishbi-benob
which
was
of
the
sonnes
of
the
gyant,
(the
weight
of
whose
speare
weighed
three
hundred
shekels
of
brasse
in
weight)
he
being
girded
with
a
new
sword,
thought
to
haue
slaine
Dauid.
17
But
Abishai
the
sonne
of
Zeruiah
succoured
him,
and
smote
the
Philistine,
and
killed
him.
Then
the
men
of
Dauid
sware
vnto
him,
saying,
Thou
shalt
goe
no
more
out
with
vs
to
battell,
that
thou
quench
not
the
light
of
Israel.
18
And
it
came
to
passe
after
this,
that
there
was
againe
a
battell
with
the
Philistines
at
Gob:
then
Sibbechai
the
Hushathite
slew
Saph,
which
was
of
the
sonnes
of
the
Gyant.
19
And
there
was
againe
a
battell
in
Gob,
with
the
Philistines,
where
Elhanan
the
sonne
of
Iaare-Oregim
a
Bethlehemite,
slewe
the
brother
of
Goliath
the
Gittite,
the
staffe
of
whose
speare
was
like
a
weauers
beame.
20
And
there
was
yet
a
battell
in
Gath,
where
was
a
man
of
great
stature,
that
had
on
euery
hand
sixe
fingers,
and
on
euery
foote
sixe
toes,
foure
and
twenty
in
number,
and
he
also
was
borne
to
the
Gyant.
21
And
when
he
defied
Israel,
Ionathan
the
sonne
of
Shimea
the
brother
of
Dauid,
slew
him.
22
These
foure
were
borne
to
the
Gyant
in
Gath,
and
fell
by
the
hand
of
Dauid,
and
by
the
hand
of
his
seruants.
