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 .)

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 .
|
6. 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.

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 .

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 .
