Then there was a famine
<07458>

in the days
<03117>

<01732>

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

year
<08141>

after
<0310>

<08141>_;

and David
<01732>

enquired
<01245> (8762)

of
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] for Saul
<07586>_,

and for [his] bloody
<01818>

house
<01004>_,

because he slew
<04191> (8689)

the Gibeonites
<01393>_.

{enquired...: Heb. sought the face, etc}

And the king
<04428>

called
<07121> (8799)

the Gibeonites
<01393>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them; (now the Gibeonites
<01393>

[were] not of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

but of the remnant
<03499>

of the Amorites
<0567>_;

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them: and Saul
<07586>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to slay
<05221> (8687)

them in his zeal
<07065> (8763)

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>.)

<04428>

spared
<02550> (8799)

Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Saul

because of the LORD'S
<03068>

oath
<07621>

that [was] between them, between David
<01732>

and Jonathan
<03083>

the son
