King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Then there was[H1961] a famine[H7458] in the days[H3117] of David[H1732] three[H7969] years,[H8141] year[H8141] after[H310] year;[H8141] and David[H1732] inquired[H1245] [H6440] of the LORD.[H3068] And the LORD[H3068] answered,[H559] It is for[H413] Saul,[H7586] and for[H413] his bloody[H1818] house,[H1004] because[H5921] [H834] he slew[H4191] [H853] the Gibeonites.[H1393]

2. And the king[H4428] called[H7121] the Gibeonites,[H1393] and said[H559] unto[H413] them; (now the Gibeonites[H1393] were not[H3808] of the children[H4480] [H1121] of Israel,[H3478] but[H3588] [H518] of the remnant[H4480] [H3499] of the Amorites;[H567] and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] had sworn[H7650] unto them: and Saul[H7586] sought[H1245] to slay[H5221] them in his zeal[H7065] to the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] and Judah.)[H3063]

3. Wherefore David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] the Gibeonites,[H1393] What[H4100] shall I do[H6213] for you? and wherewith[H4100] shall I make the atonement,[H3722] that ye may bless[H1288] [H853] the inheritance[H5159] of the LORD?[H3068]

4. And the Gibeonites[H1393] said[H559] unto him, We will have no[H369] silver[H3701] nor gold[H2091] of[H5973] Saul,[H7586] nor of[H5973] his house;[H1004] neither[H369] for us shalt thou kill[H4191] any man[H376] in Israel.[H3478] And he said,[H559] What[H4100] ye[H859] shall say,[H559] that will I do[H6213] for you.

5. And they answered[H559] [H413] the king,[H4428] The man[H376] that[H834] consumed[H3615] us, and that[H834] devised[H1819] against us that we should be destroyed[H8045] from remaining[H4480] [H3320] in any[H3605] of the coasts[H1366] of Israel,[H3478]

6. Let seven[H7651] men[H376] of his sons[H4480] [H1121] be delivered[H5414] unto us, and we will hang[H3363] them up unto the LORD[H3068] in Gibeah[H1390] of Saul,[H7586] whom the LORD[H3068] did choose.[H972] And the king[H4428] said,[H559] I[H589] will give[H5414] them.

7. But the king[H4428] spared[H2550] [H5921] Mephibosheth,[H4648] the son[H1121] of Jonathan[H3083] the son[H1121] of Saul,[H7586] because[H5921] of the LORD's[H3068] oath[H7621] that[H834] was between[H996] them, between[H996] David[H1732] and Jonathan[H3083] the son[H1121] of Saul.[H7586]

8. But the king[H4428] took[H3947] [H853] the two[H8147] sons[H1121] of Rizpah[H7532] the daughter[H1323] of Aiah,[H345] whom[H834] she bore[H3205] unto Saul,[H7586] [H853] Armoni[H764] and Mephibosheth;[H4648] and the five[H2568] sons[H1121] of Michal[H4324] the daughter[H1323] of Saul,[H7586] whom[H834] she brought up[H3205] for Adriel[H5741] the son[H1121] of Barzillai[H1271] the Meholathite: [H4259]

9. And he delivered[H5414] them into the hands[H3027] of the Gibeonites,[H1393] and they hanged[H3363] them in the hill[H2022] before[H6440] the LORD:[H3068] and they fell[H5307] all seven[H7651] together,[H3162] and were put to death[H4191] in the days[H3117] of harvest,[H7105] in the first[H7223] days, in the beginning[H8462] of barley[H8184] harvest.[H7105]

10. And Rizpah[H7532] the daughter[H1323] of Aiah[H345] took[H3947] [H853] sackcloth,[H8242] and spread[H5186] it for her upon[H413] the rock,[H6697] from the beginning[H4480] [H8462] of harvest[H7105] until[H5704] water[H4325] dropped[H5413] upon[H5921] them out of[H4480] heaven,[H8064] and suffered[H5414] neither[H3808] the birds[H5775] of the air[H8064] to rest[H5117] on[H5921] them by day,[H3119] nor the beasts[H2416] of the field[H7704] by night.[H3915]

11. And it was told[H5046] David[H1732] [H853] what[H834] Rizpah[H7532] the daughter[H1323] of Aiah,[H345] the concubine[H6370] of Saul,[H7586] had done.[H6213]

12. And David[H1732] went[H1980] and took[H3947] [H853] the bones[H6106] of Saul[H7586] and the bones[H6106] of Jonathan[H3083] his son[H1121] from[H4480] [H854] the men[H1167] of Jabesh-gilead,[H3003] [H1568] which[H834] had stolen[H1589] them from the street[H4480] [H7339] of Beth-shan,[H1052] where[H834] [H8033] the Philistines[H6430] had hanged[H8511] them, when[H3117] the Philistines[H6430] had slain[H5221] [H853] Saul[H7586] in Gilboa: [H1533]

13. And he brought up[H5927] from thence[H4480] [H8033] [H853] the bones[H6106] of Saul[H7586] and the bones[H6106] of Jonathan[H3083] his son;[H1121] and they gathered[H622] [H853] the bones[H6106] of them that were hanged.[H3363]

14. And[H853] the bones[H6106] of Saul[H7586] and Jonathan[H3083] his son[H1121] buried[H6912] they in the country[H776] of Benjamin[H1144] in Zelah,[H6762] in the sepulcher[H6913] of Kish[H7027] his father:[H1] and they performed[H6213] all[H3605] that[H834] the king[H4428] commanded.[H6680] And after that[H310] [H3651] God[H430] was entreated[H6279] for the land.[H776]

15. Moreover the Philistines[H6430] had[H1961] yet war[H4421] again with[H854] Israel;[H3478] and David[H1732] went down,[H3381] and his servants[H5650] with[H5973] him, and fought against[H3898] [H853] the Philistines:[H6430] and David[H1732] waxed faint.[H5774]

16. And Ishbibenob,[H3430] which[H834] was of the sons[H3211] of the giant,[H7498] the weight[H4948] of whose spear[H7013] weighed three[H7969] hundred[H3967] shekels of brass[H5178] in weight,[H4948] he[H1931] being girded[H2296] with a new[H2319] sword, thought[H559] to have slain[H5221] [H853] David.[H1732]

17. But Abishai[H52] the son[H1121] of Zeruiah[H6870] succored[H5826] him, and smote[H5221] [H853] the Philistine,[H6430] and killed[H4191] him. Then[H227] the men[H376] of David[H1732] swore[H7650] unto him, saying,[H559] Thou shalt go[H3318] no[H3808] more[H5750] out with us to battle,[H4421] that thou quench[H3518] not[H3808] [H853] the light[H5216] of Israel.[H3478]

18. And it came to pass[H1961] after[H310] this,[H3651] that there was[H1961] again[H5750] a battle[H4421] with[H5973] the Philistines[H6430] at Gob:[H1359] then[H227] Sibbechai[H5444] the Hushathite[H2843] slew[H5221] [H853] Saph,[H5593] which[H834] was of the sons[H3211] of the giant.[H7498]

19. And there was[H1961] again[H5750] a battle[H4421] in Gob[H1359] with[H5973] the Philistines,[H6430] where Elhanan[H445] the son[H1121] of Jaare-oregim,[H3296] a Bethlehemite,[H1022] slew[H5221] the brother of[H853] Goliath[H1555] the Gittite,[H1663] the staff[H6086] of whose spear[H2595] was like a weaver's[H707] beam.[H4500]

20. And there was[H1961] yet[H5750] a battle[H4421] in Gath,[H1661] where was[H1961] a man[H376] of great stature,[H4055] that had on every hand[H3027] six[H8337] fingers,[H676] and on every foot[H7272] six[H8337] toes,[H676] four[H702] and twenty[H6242] in number;[H4557] and he[H1931] also[H1571] was born[H3205] to the giant.[H7498]

21. And when he defied[H2778] [H853] Israel,[H3478] Jonathan[H3083] the son[H1121] of Shimea[H8092] the brother[H251] of David[H1732] slew[H5221] him.

22. These[H428] [H853] four[H702] were born[H3205] to the giant[H7498] in Gath,[H1661] and fell[H5307] by the hand[H3027] of David,[H1732] and by the hand[H3027] of his servants.[H5650]
