2Sam 21:1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

2Sam 21:2 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.)

wayyō’mer dāwiḏ ’el-haggiḇə‘ōnîm māh ’e‘ĕśeh lāḵem ûḇammāh ’ăḵappēr ûḇārəḵû ’eṯ-naḥălaṯ yəhwāh

2Sam 21:3 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?

wayyō’mərû wayyō’mərû lô lô haggiḇə‘ōnîm haggiḇə‘ōnîm ’ên-lānû lānû kesep̱ wəzāhāḇ kesep̱ wəzāhāḇ ‘im-šā’ûl ‘im-wə‘im-šā’ûl bêṯô wə‘im-wə’ên-bêṯô wə’ên-lānû ’îš lānû ’îš ləhāmîṯ ləhāmîṯ bəyiśərā’ēl wayyō’mer bəyiśərā’ēl wayyō’mer māh-māh-’attem ’ōmərîm ’attem ’e‘ĕśeh ’ōmərîm ’e‘ĕśeh lāḵem lāḵem

2Sam 21:4 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.

wayyō’mərû ’el-hammeleḵ hā’îš ’ăšer killānû wa’ăšer dimmāh-lānû nišəmaḏənû mēhiṯəyaṣṣēḇ bəḵāl-gəḇul yiśərā’ēl

2Sam 21:5 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,

yuttan-lānû šiḇə‘āh ’ănāšîm mibbānāyw wəhôqa‘ănûm layhwāh bəg̱iḇə‘aṯ šā’ûl bəḥîr yəhwāh wayyō’mer hammeleḵ ’ănî ’ettēn

2Sam 21:6 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.

2Sam 21:7 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.

wayyiqqaḥ hammeleḵ ’eṯ-šənê bənê riṣəpāh ḇaṯ-’ayyāh ’ăšer yāləḏāh ləšā’ûl ’eṯ-’arəmōnî wə’eṯ-məp̱iḇōšeṯ wə’eṯ-ḥămēšeṯ bənê mîḵal baṯ-šā’ûl ’ăšer yāləḏāh lə‘aḏərî’ēl ben-barəzillay hamməḥōlāṯî

2Sam 21:8 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:

wayyittənēm bəyaḏ haggiḇə‘ōnîm wayyōqî‘um bāhār lip̱ənê yəhwāh wayyippəlû šəḇa‘ətām yāḥaḏ wəhēmmāh huməṯû bîmê qāṣîr bāri’šōnîm biṯəḥillaṯ qəṣîr śə‘ōrîm

2Sam 21:9 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.

2Sam 21:10 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.

wayyuggaḏ ləḏāwiḏ ’ēṯ ’ăšer-‘āśəṯāh riṣəpāh ḇaṯ-’ayyāh pileg̱eš šā’ûl

2Sam 21:11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

2Sam 21:12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:

wayya‘al miššām ’eṯ-‘aṣəmôṯ šā’ûl wə’eṯ-‘aṣəmôṯ yəhônāṯān bənô wayya’asəp̱û ’eṯ-‘aṣəmôṯ hammûqā‘îm

2Sam 21:13 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.

wayyiqəbərû ’eṯ-‘aṣəmôṯ-šā’ûl wîhônāṯān-bənô bə’ereṣ binəyāmin bəṣēlā‘ bəqeḇer qîš ’āḇîw wayya‘ăśû kōl ’ăšer-ṣiwwāh hammeleḵ wayyē‘āṯēr ’ĕlōhîm lā’āreṣ ’aḥărê-ḵēn

2Sam 21:14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.

2Sam 21:15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.

wəyišəbî bənōḇ ’ăšer bîlîḏê hārāp̱āh ûmišəqal qênô šəlōš mē’ôṯ mišəqal nəḥōšeṯ wəhû’ ḥāg̱ûr ḥăḏāšāh wayyō’mer ləhakkôṯ ’eṯ-dāwiḏ

2Sam 21:16 And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

wayya‘ăzār-lô ’ăḇîšay ben-ṣərûyāh wayyaḵ ’eṯ-happəlišətî wayəmîṯēhû ’āz nišəbə‘û ’anəšê-ḏāwiḏ lô lē’mōr lō’-ṯēṣē’ ‘ôḏ ’ittānû lammiləḥāmāh wəlō’ ṯəḵabbeh ’eṯ-nēr yiśərā’ēl

2Sam 21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.

2Sam 21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.

wattəhî-‘ôḏ hammiləḥāmāh bəg̱ôḇ ‘im-pəlišətîm wayyaḵ ’eləḥānān ben-ya‘ərê ’ōrəg̱îm bêṯ hallaḥəmî ’ēṯ gāləyāṯ haggittî wə‘ēṣ ḥănîṯô kimənôr ’ōrəg̱îm

2Sam 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

wattəhî-‘ôḏ miləḥāmāh bəg̱aṯ wayəhî ’îš māḏôn wə’eṣəbə‘ōṯ yāḏāyw wə’eṣəbə‘ōṯ rag̱əlāyw šēš wāšēš ‘eśərîm wə’arəba‘ misəpār wəg̱am-hû’ yullaḏ ləhārāp̱āh

2Sam 21:20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, 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.

wayəḥārēp̱ wayəḥārēp̱ ’eṯ-’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl yiśərā’ēl wayyakkēhû wayyakkēhû yəhônāṯān yəhônāṯān šimə‘āh ben-šimə‘āh ’ăḥî ḏāwiḏ ’ăḥî ḏāwiḏ

2Sam 21:21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.

’eṯ-’arəba‘aṯ ’ēlleh yulləḏû ləhārāp̱āh bəg̱aṯ wayyippəlû ḇəyaḏ-dāwiḏ ûḇəyaḏ ‘ăḇāḏāyw

2Sam 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.
