Young's Literal Translation
Then
there was
a famine in the days of David three years, year after year ;
and David inquired
of
the LORD.
And the
LORD
answered
, It
is
for Saul ,
and for his
bloody house, because he slew
the Gibeonites.
And
there is
a famine in the days of David three years, year after year ,
and David seeketh
the face
of
Jehovah,
and Jehovah
saith
, `
For Saul and for the
bloody house, because that
he put
to
death
the Gibeonites. '
And the king called
the Gibeonites, and said
unto them ;
(now
the Gibeonites were
not of the children
of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites;
and the children
of Israel had sworn unto
them :
and Saul sought
to slay
them in his zeal to
the children
of Israel and Judah .)
And the king calleth
for
the Gibeonites, and saith
unto them --
as
to
the Gibeonites ,
they
`are'
not of the sons
of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite,
and the sons
of Israel had sworn to
them ,
and Saul seeketh
to smite
them in his zeal for
the sons
of Israel and Judah --
Wherefore
David said
unto the Gibeonites, What shall
I do for you? and wherewith
shall
I make the
atonement ,
that
ye
may
bless the inheritance of the
LORD?
yea,
David saith
unto the Gibeonites, `
What do
I do for you? and with
what
do
I make atonement ?
and
bless ye
the inheritance of Jehovah.'
And the Gibeonites said
unto
him, We will
have no silver nor
gold of
Saul ,
nor
of
his house ;
neither
for
us
shalt
thou
kill
any
man in Israel .
And he said
, What ye shall
say,
that
will
I do for
you.
And the Gibeonites say
to
him, `
We have no silver and
gold by
Saul and
by
his house ,
and
we
have
no
man to
put
to
death
in Israel ;'
and he saith
, `
What ye are
saying
I do to
you. '
And they answered
the king, The man that
consumed us, and that
devised against us that
we should
be
destroyed from remaining
in any
of
the coasts
of Israel ,
And they say
unto
the king, `
The man who
consumed us, and who
devised against us --
we have
been
destroyed from stationing
ourselves
in all
the border
of Israel --
Let seven men of his sons be
delivered
unto
us
, and we will
hang
them up
unto
the
LORD
in Gibeah
of Saul, whom
the LORD
did
choose
. And the king said
, I will
give them.
let there
be
given
to
us
seven men of his sons, and we have
hanged
them before
Jehovah,
in the
height
of Saul, the chosen
of
Jehovah
. '
And the king saith
, `
I do
give ;'
But
the king spared
Mephibosheth ,
the
son of Jonathan the
son of Saul, because of the LORD's
oath that was
between them, between David and Jonathan the
son of Saul .
and
the king hath
pity
on
Mephibosheth son of Jonathan ,
son of Saul, because of the oath of
Jehovah
that `is'
between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul ;
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 :
and
the king taketh
the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore
to
Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth ,
and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare
to
Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite ,
And he
delivered
them into the hands
of the Gibeonites, and they hanged
them in the hill before the
LORD:
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.
and giveth
them into the hand
of the Gibeonites, and they hang
them in the hill before Jehovah;
and the
seven fall
together, and they
have
been
put to death in the days of harvest, in the first `
days '
, the commencement
of barley -
harvest.
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.
And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh
the
sackcloth, and stretcheth
it out
for herself
on
the rock, from the commencement
of harvest till
water hath
been
poured
out
upon them from
the
heavens
, and hath
not
suffered a
fowl
of the heavens
to rest upon
them by day, or
the beast
of the field by night.
And it was
told
David what
Rizpah the
daughter of Aiah, the
concubine of Saul, had
done .

to
David that

Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath

and took
the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men
of Jabeshgilead
, which

slain
Saul in Gilboa :
and David goeth
and taketh
the bones of Saul ,
and the bones of Jonathan his son ,
from the possessors
of Jabesh-Gilead
, who
had stolen them from the broad
place
of Beth-Shan
, where the Philistines hanged them, in
the day
of
the
Philistines smiting
Saul in Gilboa ;
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 .

up thence the bones of Saul ,
and the bones of Jonathan his son ,
and they gather
the bones of those
hanged ,

they
in the country
of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre
of Kish his father :
and they
performed
all that the king commanded .

that
God was
intreated
for the land.
and bury
the bones of Saul and of
Jonathan his son in the land
of Benjamin ,
in Zelah, in the burying-place
of Kish his father ,
and do
all that the king commanded ,

against
the Philistines :
and David waxed
faint.

out with us to battle, that
thou
quench not
the light
of Israel.
and
Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth
help
to
him, and smiteth
the Philistine, and putteth

Thou dost
not
go out again
with us to battle, nor
