A Novel of King David
David in 2 Samuel 21
(2 Samuel 21:1) And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year
after year. And David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah answered, For Saul, and
for his bloody house, because he killed the Gibeonites.
(2 Samuel 21:2) And the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. And the
Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites.
And the sons of Israel had sworn to them. And Saul sought to kill them in his
zeal to the sons of Israel and Judah.
(2 Samuel 21:3) And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And
with what shall I atone for this, so that you may bless the inheritance of
Jehovah?
(2 Samuel 21:4) And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver nor gold
from Saul, nor from his house. Also, we will have no man in Israel put to death.
And he said, What you shall say, I will do for you.
(2 Samuel 21:5) And they answered the king, The man who destroyed us, and who
devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the
borders of Israel,
(2 Samuel 21:6) let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang
them up to the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said,
I will give them.
(2 Samuel 21:7) But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of
Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and
Jonathan the son of Saul.
(2 Samuel 21:8) But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah,
whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal the
daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
(2 Samuel 21:9) And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they
hanged them in the hill before Jehovah. And they fell, seven together, and were
put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of
barley harvest.
(2 Samuel 21:10) And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it
for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped
upon them out of heaven. And she did not allow either the birds of the air to
rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
(2 Samuel 21:11) And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the
concubine of Saul, had done.
(2 Samuel 21:12) And 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
plaza of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them when the Philistines
had slain Saul in Gilboa.
(2 Samuel 21:13) And he brought the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his
son up from there. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
(2 Samuel 21:14) And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the
land of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of his father Kish. And they did all that
the king commanded. And afterward God heeded prayer for the land.
(2 Samuel 21:15) And again the Philistines warred with Israel. And David went
down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David
became faint.
(2 Samuel 21:16) And Ishbi-benob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight
of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight. And he being
girded with a new sword thought to kill David.
(2 Samuel 21:17) But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the
Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, You
shall not go out to battle with us any more, so that you do not put out the
light of Israel.
(2 Samuel 21:18) And it happened after this there was again a battle with the
Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the
sons of the giant.
(2 Samuel 21:19) And there was again a battle with the Philistines in Gob, where
Elhanan of Bethlehem, the son of Jaare-oregim, killed one of Goliath the
Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
(2 Samuel 21:20) And there was yet again a battle in Gath. And there was a man
of stature who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot,
twenty-four in number. And he also was born to the giant.
(2 Samuel 21:21) And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, the
brother of David, killed him.
(2 Samuel 21:22) These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand
of David, and by the hand of his servants.
