וַיְהִי רָעָב בִּימֵי דָוִד שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים, שָׁנָה אַחֲרֵי שָׁנָה, וַיְבַקֵּשׁ דָּוִד, אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה; וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה, אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְאֶל-בֵּית הַדָּמִים, עַל אֲשֶׁר-הֵמִית, אֶת-הַגִּבְעֹנִים.

vayhi ra'av bimei david shalosh shanim, shanah acharei shanah, vayvakesh david, et-penei YHWH; vayomer YHWH, el-sha'ul ve'el-beit hadamim, al asher-hemit, et-hagiv'onim.

And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said: 'It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.'

וַיִּקְרָא הַמֶּלֶךְ לַגִּבְעֹנִים, וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם: וְהַגִּבְעֹנִים לֹא מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵמָּה, כִּי אִם-מִיֶּתֶר הָאֱמֹרִי, וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נִשְׁבְּעוּ לָהֶם, וַיְבַקֵּשׁ שָׁאוּל לְהַכֹּתָם בְּקַנֹּאתוֹ לִבְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה.

vayikra hamelekh lagiv'onim, vayomer aleihem: vehagiv'onim lo mibnei yisrael hemah, ki im-miyeter ha'emori, uvenei yisrael nishbe'u lahem, vayvakesh sha'ul lehakotam bekannoto livnei-yisrael vihudah.

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 for the children of Israel and Judah--

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-הַגִּבְעֹנִים, מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה לָכֶם; וּבַמָּה אֲכַפֵּר, וּבָרְכוּ אֶת-נַחֲלַת יְהוָה.

vayomer david el-hagiv'onim, mah e'eseh lakhem; uvammah akaper, uvarekhu et-nachalat YHWH.

and David said unto the Gibeonites: 'What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?'

וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ הַגִּבְעֹנִים, אֵין-לי לָנוּ כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב עִם-שָׁאוּל וְעִם-בֵּיתוֹ, וְאֵין-לָנוּ אִישׁ, לְהָמִית בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיֹּאמֶר מָה-אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים, אֶעֱשֶׂה לָכֶם.

vayom'ru lo hagiv'onim, ein-li lanu kesef vezahav im-sha'ul ve'im beito, ve'ein-lanu ish, lehamit beyisrael; vayomer mah-atem omrim, e'eseh lakhem.

And the Gibeonites said unto him: 'It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.' And he said: 'What say ye that I should do for you?'

וַיֹּאמְרוּ, אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ, הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר כִּלָּנוּ, וַאֲשֶׁר דִּמָּה-לָנוּ; נִשְׁמַדְנוּ, מֵהִתְיַצֵּב בְּכָל-גְּבֻל יִשְׂרָאֵל.

vayom'ru, el-hamelekh, ha'ish asher kilanu, va'asher dimah-lanu; nishmadnu, mehityatzev bekhol-gevul yisrael.

And they said unto the king: 'The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, so that we have been destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,

ינתן- יֻתַּן- לָנוּ שִׁבְעָה אֲנָשִׁים, מִבָּנָיו, וְהוֹקַעֲנוּם לַיהוָה, בְּגִבְעַת שָׁאוּל בְּחִיר יְהוָה; וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ, אֲנִי אֶתֵּן.

yuttan- lanu shiv'ah anashim, mibanav, vehoka'unum lAdonai, begiv'at sha'ul behir YHWH; vayomer hamelekh, ani eten.

let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.' And the king said: 'I will deliver them.'

וַיַּחְמֹל הַמֶּלֶךְ, עַל-מְפִיבֹשֶׁת בֶּן-יְהוֹנָתָן בֶּן-שָׁאוּל; עַל-שְׁבֻעַת יְהוָה, אֲשֶׁר בֵּינֹתָם--בֵּין דָּוִד, וּבֵין יְהוֹנָתָן בֶּן-שָׁאוּל.

vayhamol hamelekh, al-mefivoshet ben-yehonatan ben-sha'ul; al-shevu'at YHWH, asher beinotam--bein david, uvein yehonatan ben-sha'ul.

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.

וַיִּקַּח הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-שְׁנֵי בְּנֵי רִצְפָּה בַת-אַיָּה, אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לְשָׁאוּל, אֶת-אַרְמֹנִי, וְאֶת-מְפִבֹשֶׁת; וְאֶת-חֲמֵשֶׁת, בְּנֵי מִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל, אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לְעַדְרִיאֵל בֶּן-בַּרְזִלַּי, הַמְּחֹלָתִי.

vayikakh hamelekh et-shenei bnei Ritzpah bat-Ayah, asher yaldah lesha'ul, et-armoni, ve'et-mefivoshet; ve'et-khameshet, bnei Mikhal bat-Sha'ul, asher yaldah le'adriel ben-Barzilai, hamkholati.

But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore unto 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;

וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד הַגִּבְעֹנִים, וַיֹּקִיעֻם בָּהָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, וַיִּפְּלוּ שבעתים שְׁבַעְתָּם, יָחַד; והם וְהֵמָּה הֻמְתוּ בִּימֵי קָצִיר, בָּרִאשֹׁנִים, תחלת בִּתְחִלַּת, קְצִיר שְׂעֹרִים.

vayittenem beyad hagiv'onim, vayoki'um bahar lifnei YHWH, vayippelu sheva'tam, yakhad; vehemah humtu bimei katzir, barishonim, bithillat, katzir se'orim.

and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell all seven together; and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.

10.

וַתִּקַּח רִצְפָּה בַת-אַיָּה אֶת-הַשַּׂק וַתַּטֵּהוּ לָהּ אֶל-הַצּוּר, מִתְּחִלַּת קָצִיר, עַד נִתַּךְ-מַיִם עֲלֵיהֶם, מִן-הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְלֹא-נָתְנָה עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם לָנוּחַ עֲלֵיהֶם, יוֹמָם, וְאֶת-חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה, לָיְלָה.

vattikakh Ritzpah bat-Ayah et-hashak vattetehu lah el-hatzur, mitkhillat katzir, ad nitakh-mayim aleihem, min-hashamayim; velo-natanah of hashamayim lanuakh aleihem, yomam, ve'et-khayyat hasadeh, laylah.

And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

11.

וַיֻּגַּד, לְדָוִד, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-עָשְׂתָה רִצְפָּה בַת-אַיָּה, פִּלֶגֶשׁ שָׁאוּל.

vayuggad, ledavid, et asher-asotah Ritzpah bat-Ayah, pilegesh Sha'ul.

And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

12.

וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד, וַיִּקַּח אֶת-עַצְמוֹת שָׁאוּל וְאֶת-עַצְמוֹת יְהוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ, מֵאֵת, בַּעֲלֵי יָבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד--אֲשֶׁר גָּנְבוּ אֹתָם מֵרְחֹב בֵּית-שַׁן, אֲשֶׁר תלום תְּלָאוּם שם הפלשתים שָׁמָּה פְּלִשְׁתִּים, בְּיוֹם הַכּוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-שָׁאוּל, בַּגִּלְבֹּעַ.

vayelekh David, vayikakh et-atzmot Sha'ul ve'et-atzmot Yehonatan beno, me'et, ba'alei Yaveish Gil'ad--asher ganevu otam merekhov Beit-Shan, asher tela'um sham haPelishtim shammah pelishtim, beyom hakot pelishtim et-Sha'ul, baGilboa.

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 broad place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa;

13.

וַיַּעַל מִשָּׁם אֶת-עַצְמוֹת שָׁאוּל, וְאֶת-עַצְמוֹת יְהוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ; וַיַּאַסְפוּ, אֶת-עַצְמוֹת הַמּוּקָעִים.

vaya'al misham et-atzmot Sha'ul, ve'et-atzmot Yehonatan beno; vaya'asfu, et-atzmot hamuqa'im.

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.

וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֶת-עַצְמוֹת-שָׁאוּל וִיהוֹנָתָן-בְּנוֹ בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן בְּצֵלָע, בְּקֶבֶר קִישׁ אָבִיו, וַיַּעֲשׂוּ, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה הַמֶּלֶךְ; וַיֵּעָתֵר אֱלֹהִים לָאָרֶץ, אַחֲרֵי-כֵן.

vayikberu et-atzmot-Sha'ul viYehonatan-beno be'eretz Binyamin beTzela, bekever Kish aviv, vaya'asu, kol asher-tzivah hamelekh; vaye'ater Elohim la'aretz, akharei-khen.

And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.

15.

וַתְּהִי-עוֹד מִלְחָמָה לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיֵּרֶד דָּוִד וַעֲבָדָיו עִמּוֹ, וַיִּלָּחֲמוּ אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים--וַיָּעַף דָּוִד.

vattehi-od milchamah laPelishtim, et-Yisrael; vayered David va'avadav immo, vayillachamu et-pelishtim--vaya'af David.

And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines; and David waxed faint.

16.

וישבו וְיִשְׁבִּי בְּנֹב אֲשֶׁר בִּילִידֵי הָרָפָה, וּמִשְׁקַל קֵינוֹ שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת מִשְׁקַל נְחֹשֶׁת, וְהוּא, חָגוּר חֲדָשָׁה; וַיֹּאמֶר, לְהַכּוֹת אֶת-דָּוִד.

vayshvu ve'yishbi benov asher bilidey harafah, umishkal keyno shelosh me'ot mishkal nechoshet, vehu khagur khadashah; vayomer, lehakot et-david.

And Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with new armour, thought to have slain David.

17.

וַיַּעֲזָר-לוֹ אֲבִישַׁי בֶּן-צְרוּיָה, וַיַּךְ אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיְמִתֵהוּ; אָז נִשְׁבְּעוּ אַנְשֵׁי-דָוִד לוֹ לֵאמֹר, לֹא-תֵצֵא עוֹד אִתָּנוּ לַמִּלְחָמָה, וְלֹא תְכַבֶּה, אֶת-נֵר יִשְׂרָאֵל.

vaya'azar-lo avishay ben-tzeruyah, vayakh et-hapelishti vaymitihu; az nishbe'u anshey-david lo lemor, lo-tetze od itanu lamilkhamah, velo tekabeh, et-ner yisrael.

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto him, saying: 'Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.'

18.

וַיְהִי, אַחֲרֵי-כֵן, וַתְּהִי-עוֹד הַמִּלְחָמָה בְּגוֹב, עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּים; אָז הִכָּה, סִבְּכַי הַחֻשָׁתִי, אֶת-סַף, אֲשֶׁר בִּילִדֵי הָרָפָה.

vayhi, akharey-khen, vatehi-od hamilkhamah begov, im-pelishtim; az hikah, sibkhay khushati, et-saf, asher bilidey harafah.

And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.

19.

וַתְּהִי-עוֹד הַמִּלְחָמָה בְּגוֹב, עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּים; וַיַּךְ אֶלְחָנָן בֶּן-יַעְרֵי אֹרְגִים בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי, אֵת גָּלְיָת הַגִּתִּי, וְעֵץ חֲנִיתוֹ, כִּמְנוֹר אֹרְגִים.

vatehi-od hamilkhamah begov, im-pelishtim; vayakh elkhanan ben-ya'rey oregim beyt halakhmi, et golyat hagiti, ve'etz khanito, kimnor oregim.

And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

20.

וַתְּהִי-עוֹד מִלְחָמָה, בְּגַת; וַיְהִי אִישׁ מדין מָדוֹן, וְאֶצְבְּעֹת יָדָיו וְאֶצְבְּעֹת רַגְלָיו שֵׁשׁ וָשֵׁשׁ עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבַּע מִסְפָּר, וְגַם-הוּא, יֻלַּד לְהָרָפָה.

vatehi-'od milkhamah, begat; vayehi ish madin madon, ve'etzbe'ot yadav ve'etzbe'ot raglav shesh vashesh esrim ve'arba mispar, vegam-hu, yullad leharaphah.

And there was again war at Gath, where was a champion, 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.

וַיְחָרֵף, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיַּכֵּהוּ, יְהוֹנָתָן, בֶּן-שמעי שִׁמְעָה, אֲחִי דָוִד.

vaykharef, et-yisrael; vayakehu, yehonatan, ben-shimei shim'ah, akhi david.

And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

22.

אֶת-אַרְבַּעַת אֵלֶּה יֻלְּדוּ לְהָרָפָה, בְּגַת; וַיִּפְּלוּ בְיַד-דָּוִד, וּבְיַד עֲבָדָיו.

et-arba'at elleh yulledu leharaphah, begat; vayippelu veyad-david, uveyad avadav.

These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
