spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the L
ORD
’S oath that
was
between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8
But the king took the two sons of
Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five
sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the
Meholathite:
9
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in
the hill before the L
ORD
: and they fell
all
seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest,
in the first
days,
in the beginning of barley harvest.
10
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from
the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the
birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11
And it was told David
what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men
of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had
hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
13
And he brought up from thence the
bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were
hanged.
14
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in
Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And
after that God was intreated for the land.
15
Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants
with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16
And Ishbi-benob, which
was
of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear
weighed
three hundred
shekels
of brass in
weight, he being girded with a new
sword,
thought to have slain David.
17
But Abishai the son of
Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware
unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of
Israel.
18
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob:
then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which
was
of the sons of the giant.
19
And there was
again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite,
slew
the brother of
Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear
was
like a weaver’s beam.
20
And
there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of
great
stature, that had on every hand six fingers,
and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21
And
when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.
22
These four
were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
CHAPTER SAMUEL 22
And David spake unto the L
ORD
the words of this song in the day
that
the L
ORD
had delivered him
out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2
And he said, The L
ORD
is
my rock,
and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3
The God of my rock; in him will I trust:
he is
my shield, and
