2 Samuel 21:1--24:25

21:1
Then there was a famine
<07458>
in the days
<03117>
of David
<01732>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
year
<08141>
after
<0310>
year
<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}
21:2
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>.)
21:3
Wherefore David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the Gibeonites
<01393>_,
What shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement
<03722> (8762)_,
that ye may bless
<01288> (8761)
the inheritance
<05159>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
21:4
And the Gibeonites
<01393>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We will have no silver
<03701>
nor gold
<02091>
of
<05973>
Saul
<07586>_,
nor of his house
<01004>_;
neither for us shalt thou kill
<04191> (8687)
any man
<0376>
in Israel
<03478>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What ye shall say
<0559> (8802)_,
[that] will I do
<06213> (8799)
for you. {We will...: or, It is not silver nor gold that we have to do with Saul or his house, neither pertains it to us to kill, etc}
21:5
And they answered
<0559> (8799)
the king
<04428>_,
The man
<0376>
that consumed
<03615> (8765)
us, and that devised
<01819> (8765)
against us [that] we should be destroyed
<08045> (8738)
from remaining
<03320> (8692)
in any of the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_,
{devised...: or, cut us off}
21:6
Let seven
<07651>
men
<0582>
of his sons
<01121>
be delivered
<05414> (8714)
unto us, and we will hang them up
<03363> (8689)
unto the LORD
<03068>
in Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>_,
[whom] the LORD
<03068>
did choose
<0972>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will give
<05414> (8799)
[them]. {whom...: or, chosen of the LORD}
21:7
But the king
<04428>
spared
<02550> (8799)
Mephibosheth
<04648>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jonathan
<03083>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
because of the LORD'S
<03068>
oath
<07621>
that [was] between them, between David
<01732>
and Jonathan
<03083>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_.
21:8
But the king
<04428>
took
<03947> (8799)
the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Rizpah
<07532>
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>_,
whom she bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Armoni
<0764>
and Mephibosheth
<04648>_;
and the five
<02568>
sons
<01121>
of Michal
<04324>
the daughter
<01323>
of Saul
<07586>_,
whom she brought up
<03205> (8804)
for Adriel
<05741>
the son
<01121>
of Barzillai
<01271>
the Meholathite
<04259>_:
{Michal: or, Michal's sister} {brought...: Heb. bear to Adriel}
21:9
And he delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hands
<03027>
of the Gibeonites
<01393>_,
and they hanged
<03363> (8686)
them in the hill
<02022>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and they fell
<05307> (8799)
[all] seven
<07651> (8675) <07659>
together
<03162>_,
and were put to death
<04191> (8717)
in the days
<03117>
of harvest
<07105>_,
in the first
<07223>
[days], in the beginning
<08462>
of barley
<08184>
harvest
<07105>_.
21:10
And Rizpah
<07532>
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>
took
<03947> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>_,
and spread
<05186> (8686)
it for her upon the rock
<06697>_,
from the beginning
<08462>
of harvest
<07105>
until water
<04325>
dropped
<05413> (8738)
upon them out of heaven
<08064>_,
and suffered
<05414> (8804)
neither the birds
<05775>
of the air
<08064>
to rest
<05117> (8800)
on them by day
<03119>_,
nor the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
by night
<03915>_.
21:11
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
David
<01732>
what Rizpah
<07532>
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>_,
the concubine
<06370>
of Saul
<07586>_,
had done
<06213> (8804)_.
21:12
And David
<01732>
went
<03212> (8799)
and took
<03947> (8799)
the bones
<06106>
of Saul
<07586>
and the bones
<06106>
of Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>
from the men
<01167>
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,
which had stolen
<01589> (8804)
them from the street
<07339>
of Bethshan
<01052>_,
where the Philistines
<06430>
had hanged
<08511> (8804) (8675) <08518> (8804)
them, when
<03117>
the Philistines
<06430>
had slain
<05221> (8687)
Saul
<07586>
in Gilboa
<01533>_:
21:13
And he brought up
<05927> (8686)
from thence the bones
<06106>
of Saul
<07586>
and the bones
<06106>
of Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>_;
and they gathered
<0622> (8799)
the bones
<06106>
of them that were hanged
<03363> (8716)_.
21:14
And the bones
<06106>
of Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03083>
his son
<01121>
buried
<06912> (8799)
they in the country
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>
in Zelah
<06762>_,
in the sepulchre
<06913>
of Kish
<07027>
his father
<01>_:
and they performed
<06213> (8799)
all that the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
And after
<0310>
that God
<0430>
was intreated
<06279> (8735)
for the land
<0776>_.
21:15
Moreover the Philistines
<06430>
had yet war
<04421>
again with Israel
<03478>_;
and David
<01732>
went down
<03381> (8799)_,
and his servants
<05650>
with him, and fought
<03898> (8735)
against the Philistines
<06430>_:
and David
<01732>
waxed faint
<05774> (8799)_.
21:16
And Ishbibenob
<03430>_,
which [was] of the sons
<03211>
of the giant
<07497>_,
the weight
<04948>
of whose spear
<07013>
[weighed] three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of brass
<05178>
in weight
<04948>_,
he being girded
<02296> (8803)
with a new
<02319>
[sword], thought
<0559> (8799)
to have slain
<05221> (8687)
David
<01732>_.
{the giant: or, Rapha} {spear: Heb. the staff, or, the head}
21:17
But Abishai
<052>
the son
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>
succoured
<05826> (8799)
him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistine
<06430>_,
and killed
<04191> (8686)
him. Then the men
<0582>
of David
<01732>
sware
<07650> (8738)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt go
<03318> (8799)
no more out with us to battle
<04421>_,
that thou quench
<03518> (8762)
not the light
<05216>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
21:18
And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,
that there was again a battle
<04421>
with the Philistines
<06430>
at Gob
<01359>_:
then Sibbechai
<05444>
the Hushathite
<02843>
slew
<05221> (8689)
Saph
<05593>_,
which [was] of the sons
<03211>
of the giant
<07497>_.
{the giant: or, Rapha} {Saph: or, Sippai}
21:19
And there was again a battle
<04421>
in Gob
<01359>
with the Philistines
<06430>_,
where Elhanan
<0445>
the son
<01121>
of Jaareoregim
<03296>_,
a Bethlehemite
<01022>_,
slew
<05221> (8686)
[the brother of] Goliath
<01555>
the Gittite
<01663>_,
the staff
<06086>
of whose spear
<02595>
[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)
beam
<04500>_.
{Jaareoregim: or, Jair}
21:20
And there was yet a battle
<04421>
in Gath
<01661>_,
where was a man
<0376>
of [great] stature
<04067> (8675) <04055>_,
that had on every hand
<03027>
six
<08337>
fingers
<0676>_,
and on every foot
<07272>
six
<08337>
toes
<0676>_,
four
<0702>
and twenty
<06242>
in number
<04557>_;
and he also was born
<03205> (8795)
to the giant
<07497>_.
{the giant: or, Rapha}
21:21
And when he defied
<02778> (8762)
Israel
<03478>_,
Jonathan
<03083>
the son
<01121>
of Shimea
<08092>
the brother
<0251>
of David
<01732>
slew
<05221> (8686)
him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: also called, Shammah}
21:22
These four
<0702>
were born
<03205> (8795)
to the giant
<07497>
in Gath
<01661>_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
by the hand
<03027>
of David
<01732>_,
and by the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_.
22:1
And David
<01732>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto the LORD
<03068>
the words
<01697>
of this song
<07892>
in the day
<03117>
[that] the LORD
<03068>
had delivered
<05337> (8689)
him out of the hand
<03709>
of all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and out of the hand
<03709>
of Saul
<07586>_:
22:2
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
[is] my rock
<05553>_,
and my fortress
<04686>_,
and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;
22:3
The God
<0430>
of my rock
<06697>_;
in him will I trust
<02620> (8799)_:
[he is] my shield
<04043>_,
and the horn
<07161>
of my salvation
<03468>_,
my high tower
<04869>_,
and my refuge
<04498>_,
my saviour
<03467> (8688)_;
thou savest
<03467> (8686)
me from violence
<02555>_.
22:4
I will call
<07121> (8799)
on the LORD
<03068>_,
[who is] worthy to be praised
<01984> (8794)_:
so shall I be saved
<03467> (8735)
from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
22:5
When the waves
<04867>
of death
<04194>
compassed
<0661> (8804)
me, the floods
<05158>
of ungodly men
<01100>
made me afraid
<01204> (8762)_;
{waves: or, pangs} {ungodly...: Heb. Belial}
22:6
The sorrows
<02256>
of hell
<07585>
compassed me about
<05437> (8804)_;
the snares
<04170>
of death
<04194>
prevented
<06923> (8765)
me; {sorrows: or, cords}
22:7
In my distress
<06862>
I called
<07121> (8799)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
to my God
<0430>_:
and he did hear
<08085> (8799)
my voice
<06963>
out of his temple
<01964>_,
and my cry
<07775>
[did enter] into his ears
<0241>_.
22:8
Then the earth
<0776>
shook
<01607> (8691) (8675) <01607> (8799)
and trembled
<07493> (8799)_;
the foundations
<04146>
of heaven
<08064>
moved
<07264> (8799)
and shook
<01607> (8691)_,
because he was wroth
<02734> (8804)_.
22:9
There went up
<05927> (8804)
a smoke
<06227>
out of his nostrils
<0639>_,
and fire
<0784>
out of his mouth
<06310>
devoured
<0398> (8799)_:
coals
<01513>
were kindled
<01197> (8804)
by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}
22:10
He bowed
<05186> (8799)
the heavens
<08064>
also, and came down
<03381> (8799)_;
and darkness
<06205>
[was] under his feet
<07272>_.
22:11
And he rode
<07392> (8799)
upon a cherub
<03742>_,
and did fly
<05774> (8799)_:
and he was seen
<07200> (8735)
upon the wings
<03671>
of the wind
<07307>_.
22:12
And he made
<07896> (8799)
darkness
<02822>
pavilions
<05521>
round about
<05439>
him, dark
<02841>
waters
<04325>_,
[and] thick clouds
<05645>
of the skies
<07834>_.
{dark...: Heb. binding of waters}
22:13
Through the brightness
<05051>
before him were coals
<01513>
of fire
<0784>
kindled
<01197> (8804)_.
22:14
The LORD
<03068>
thundered
<07481> (8686)
from heaven
<08064>_,
and the most High
<05945>
uttered
<05414> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_.
22:15
And he sent out
<07971> (8799)
arrows
<02671>_,
and scattered
<06327> (8686)
them; lightning
<01300>_,
and discomfited
<02000> (8799)
them.
22:16
And the channels
<0650>
of the sea
<03220>
appeared
<07200> (8735)_,
the foundations
<04146>
of the world
<08398>
were discovered
<01540> (8735)_,
at the rebuking
<01606>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
at the blast
<05397>
of the breath
<07307>
of his nostrils
<0639>_.
22:17
He sent
<07971> (8799)
from above
<04791>_,
he took
<03947> (8799)
me; he drew
<04871> (8686)
me out of many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_;
{many: or, great}
22:18
He delivered
<05337> (8686)
me from my strong
<05794>
enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
[and] from them that hated
<08130> (8802)
me: for they were too strong
<0553> (8804)
for me.
22:19
They prevented
<06923> (8762)
me in the day
<03117>
of my calamity
<0343>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
was my stay
<04937>_.
22:20
He brought me forth
<03318> (8686)
also into a large place
<04800>_:
he delivered
<02502> (8762)
me, because he delighted
<02654> (8804)
in me.
22:21
The LORD
<03068>
rewarded
<01580> (8799)
me according to my righteousness
<06666>_:
according to the cleanness
<01252>
of my hands
<03027>
hath he recompensed
<07725> (8686)
me.
22:22
For I have kept
<08104> (8804)
the ways
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)
from my God
<0430>_.
22:23
For all his judgments
<04941>
[were] before me: and [as for] his statutes
<02708>_,
I did not depart
<05493> (8799)
from them.
22:24
I was also upright
<08549>
before him, and have kept
<08104> (8691)
myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.
{before: Heb. to}
22:25
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
hath recompensed
<07725> (8686)
me according to my righteousness
<06666>_;
according to my cleanness
<01252>
in his eye sight
<05048> <05869>_.
{in...: Heb. before his eyes}
22:26
With the merciful
<02623>
thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_,
[and] with the upright
<08549>
man
<01368>
thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_.
22:27
With the pure
<01305> (8737)
thou wilt shew thyself pure
<01305> (8691)_;
and with the froward
<06141>
thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury
<06617> (8691)_.
{shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle}
22:28
And the afflicted
<06041>
people
<05971>
thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)_:
but thine eyes
<05869>
[are] upon the haughty
<07311> (8802)_,
[that] thou mayest bring [them] down
<08213> (8686)_.
22:29
For thou [art] my lamp
<05216>_,
O LORD
<03068>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
will lighten
<05050> (8686)
my darkness
<02822>_.
{lamp: or, candle}
22:30
For by thee I have run
<07323> (8799)
through a troop
<01416>_:
by my God
<0430>
have I leaped over
<01801> (8762)
a wall
<07791>_.
{run: or, broken}
22:31
[As for] God
<0410>_,
his way
<01870>
[is] perfect
<08549>_;
the word
<0565>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] tried
<06884> (8803)_:
he [is] a buckler
<04043>
to all them that trust
<02620> (8802)
in him. {tried: or, refined}
22:32
For who [is] God
<0410>_,
save
<01107>
the LORD
<03068>_?
and who [is] a rock
<06697>_,
save
<01107>
our God
<0430>_?
22:33
God
<0410>
[is] my strength
<04581>
[and] power
<02428>_:
and he maketh
<05425> (8686)
my way
<01870>
perfect
<08549>_.
{maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth}
22:34
He maketh
<07737> (0)
my feet
<07272>
like
<07737> (8764)
hinds
<0355>_'
[feet]: and setteth
<05975> (8686)
me upon my high places
<01116>_.
{maketh: Heb. equalleth}
22:35
He teacheth
<03925> (8764)
my hands
<03027>
to war
<04421>_;
so that a bow
<07198>
of steel
<05154>
is broken
<05181> (8765)
by mine arms
<02220>_.
{to war: Heb. for the war}
22:36
Thou hast also given
<05414> (8799)
me the shield
<04043>
of thy salvation
<03468>_:
and thy gentleness
<06031> (8800) (8676) <06038>
hath made me great
<07235> (8686)_.
{made...: Heb. multiplied me}
22:37
Thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8686)
my steps
<06806>
under me; so that my feet
<07166>
did not slip
<04571> (8804)_.
{feet: Heb. ankles}
22:38
I have pursued
<07291> (8799)
mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and destroyed
<08045> (8686)
them; and turned not again
<07725> (8799)
until I had consumed
<03615> (8763)
them.
22:39
And I have consumed
<03615> (8762)
them, and wounded
<04272> (8799)
them, that they could not arise
<06965> (8799)_:
yea, they are fallen
<05307> (8799)
under my feet
<07272>_.
22:40
For thou hast girded
<0247> (8762)
me with strength
<02428>
to battle
<04421>_:
them that rose up
<06965> (8801)
against me hast thou subdued
<03766> (8686)
under me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}
22:41
Thou hast also given
<05414> (8804)
me the necks
<06203>
of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
that I might destroy
<06789> (8686)
them that hate
<08130> (8764)
me.
22:42
They looked
<08159> (8799)_,
but [there was] none to save
<03467> (8688)_;
[even] unto the LORD
<03068>_,
but he answered
<06030> (8804)
them not.
22:43
Then did I beat
<07833> (8799)
them as small as the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>_,
I did stamp
<01854> (8686)
them as the mire
<02916>
of the street
<02351>_,
[and] did spread them abroad
<07554> (8799)_.
22:44
Thou also hast delivered
<06403> (8762)
me from the strivings
<07379>
of my people
<05971>_,
thou hast kept
<08104> (8799)
me [to be] head
<07218>
of the heathen
<01471>_:
a people
<05971>
[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)
not shall serve
<05647> (8799)
me.
22:45
Strangers
<01121> <05236>
shall submit
<03584> (8691)
themselves unto me: as soon as they hear
<08085> (8800) <0241>_,
they shall be obedient
<08085> (8735)
unto me. {Strangers: Heb. Sons of the stranger} {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}
22:46
Strangers
<01121> <05236>
shall fade away
<05034> (8799)_,
and they shall be afraid
<02296> (8799)
out of their close places
<04526>_.
22:47
The LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_;
and blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] my rock
<06697>_;
and exalted
<07311> (8799)
be the God
<0430>
of the rock
<06697>
of my salvation
<03468>_.
22:48
It [is] God
<0410>
that avengeth
<05414> (8802) <05360>
me, and that bringeth down
<03381> (8688)
the people
<05971>
under me, {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for}
22:49
And that bringeth me forth
<03318> (8688)
from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:
thou also hast lifted me up on high
<07311> (8787)
above them that rose up
<06965> (8801)
against me: thou hast delivered
<05337> (8686)
me from the violent
<02555>
man
<0376>_.
22:50
Therefore I will give thanks
<03034> (8686)
unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,
among the heathen
<01471>_,
and I will sing praises
<02167> (8762)
unto thy name
<08034>_.
22:51
[He is] the tower
<04024> (8675) <01431> (8688)
of salvation
<03444>
for his king
<04428>_:
and sheweth
<06213> (8802)
mercy
<02617>
to his anointed
<04899>_,
unto David
<01732>_,
and to his seed
<02233>
for
<05704>
evermore
<05769>_.
23:1
Now these [be] the last
<0314>
words
<01697>
of David
<01732>_.
David
<01732>
the son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>
said
<05002> (8803)_,
and the man
<01397>
[who was] raised up
<06965> (8717)
on high
<05920>_,
the anointed
<04899>
of the God
<0430>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and the sweet
<05273>
psalmist
<02158>
of Israel
<03478>_,
said
<05002> (8803)_,
23:2
The Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
by me, and his word
<04405>
[was] in my tongue
<03956>_.
23:3
The God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
the Rock
<06697>
of Israel
<03478>
spake
<01696> (8765)
to me, He that ruleth
<04910> (8802)
over men
<0120>
[must be] just
<06662>_,
ruling
<04910> (8802)
in the fear
<03374>
of God
<0430>_.
{He...: or, Be thou ruler, etc}
23:4
And [he shall be] as the light
<0216>
of the morning
<01242>_,
[when] the sun
<08121>
riseth
<02224> (8799)_,
[even] a morning
<01242>
without
<03808>
clouds
<05645>_;
[as] the tender grass
<01877>
[springing] out of the earth
<0776>
by clear shining
<05051>
after rain
<04306>_.
23:5
Although my house
<01004>
[be] not so with God
<0410>_;
yet he hath made
<07760> (8804)
with me an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_,
ordered
<06186> (8803)
in all [things], and sure
<08104> (8803)_:
for [this is] all my salvation
<03468>_,
and all [my] desire
<02656>_,
although he make [it] not to grow
<06779> (8686)_.
23:6
But [the sons] of Belial
<01100>
[shall be] all of them as thorns
<06975>
thrust away
<05074> (8716)_,
because they cannot be taken
<03947> (8799)
with hands
<03027>_:
23:7
But the man
<0376>
[that] shall touch
<05060> (8799)
them must be fenced
<04390> (8735)
with iron
<01270>
and the staff
<06086>
of a spear
<02595>_;
and they shall be utterly
<08313> (8800)
burned
<08313> (8735)
with fire
<0784>
in the [same] place
<07675> (8800)_.
{fenced: Heb. filled}
23:8
These [be] the names
<08034>
of the mighty men
<01368>
whom David
<01732>
had: The Tachmonite
<08461>
that sat
<03427> (8802)
in the seat
<07675> (8800) (8677) <03429>_,
chief
<07218>
among the captains
<07991>_;
the same [was] Adino
<05722>
the Eznite
<06112>_:
[he lift up his spear] against eight
<08083>
hundred
<03967>_,
whom he slew
<02491>
at one
<0259>
time
<06471>_.
{The Tachmonite...: or, Joshebbassebet the Tachmonite, head of the three} {whom he...: Heb. slain} {he lift...: from 1ch 11:11 whom he...: Heb. slain}
23:9
And after
<0310>
him [was] Eleazar
<0499>
the son
<01121>
of Dodo
<01734>
the Ahohite
<0266>_,
[one] of the three
<07969>
mighty men
<01368>
with David
<01732>_,
when they defied
<02778> (8763)
the Philistines
<06430>
[that] were there gathered together
<0622> (8738)
to battle
<04421>_,
and the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were gone away
<05927> (8799)_:
23:10
He arose
<06965> (8804)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>
until
<03588>
his hand
<03027>
was weary
<03021> (8804)_,
and his hand
<03027>
clave
<01692> (8799)
unto the sword
<02719>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
wrought
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
victory
<08668>
that day
<03117>_;
and the people
<05971>
returned
<07725> (8799)
after
<0310>
him only to spoil
<06584> (8763)_.
23:11
And after
<0310>
him [was] Shammah
<08048>
the son
<01121>
of Agee
<089>
the Hararite
<02043>_.
And the Philistines
<06430>
were gathered together
<0622> (8735)
into a troop
<02416>_,
where was a piece
<02513>
of ground
<07704>
full
<04392>
of lentiles
<05742>_:
and the people
<05971>
fled
<05127> (8804)
from
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_.
{into...: or, for foraging}
23:12
But he stood
<03320> (8691)
in the midst
<08432>
of the ground
<02513>_,
and defended
<05337> (8686)
it, and slew
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
wrought
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
victory
<08668>_.
23:13
And three
<07969> (8675) <07970>
of the thirty
<07970>
chief
<07218>
went down
<03381> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to David
<01732>
in the harvest time
<07105>
unto the cave
<04631>
of Adullam
<05725>_:
and the troop
<02416>
of the Philistines
<06430>
pitched
<02583> (8802)
in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
{three...: or, the three captains over the thirty}
23:14
And David
<01732>
[was] then in an hold
<04686>_,
and the garrison
<04673>
of the Philistines
<06430>
[was] then [in] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
23:15
And David
<01732>
longed
<0183> (8691)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh that one would give me drink
<08248> (8686)
of the water
<04325>
of the well
<0953>
of Bethlehem
<01035>_,
which [is] by the gate
<08179>_!
23:16
And the three
<07969>
mighty men
<01368>
brake through
<01234> (8799)
the host
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and drew
<07579> (8799)
water
<04325>
out of the well
<0953>
of Bethlehem
<01035>_,
that [was] by the gate
<08179>_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
[it], and brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] to David
<01732>_:
nevertheless he would
<014> (8804)
not drink
<08354> (8800)
thereof, but poured it out
<05258> (8686)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
23:17
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Be it far
<02486>
from me, O LORD
<03068>_,
that I should do
<06213> (8800)
this: [is not this] the blood
<01818>
of the men
<0582>
that went
<01980> (8802)
in jeopardy of their lives
<05315>_?
therefore he would
<014> (8804)
not drink
<08354> (8800)
it. These things did
<06213> (8804)
these three
<07969>
mighty men
<01368>_.
23:18
And Abishai
<052>_,
the brother
<0251>
of Joab
<03097>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>_,
was chief
<07218>
among three
<07992>_.
And he lifted up
<05782> (8790)
his spear
<02595>
against three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>_,
[and] slew
<02491>
[them], and had the name
<08034>
among three
<07969>_.
{and slew them: Heb. slain}
23:19
Was he not most honourable
<03513> (8737)
of three
<07969>_?
therefore he was their captain
<08269>_:
howbeit he attained
<0935> (8804)
not unto the [first] three
<07969>_.
23:20
And Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_,
the son
<01121>
of a valiant
<02428>
man
<0376> (8677) <0381>_,
of Kabzeel
<06909>_,
who had done many
<07227>
acts
<06467>_,
he slew
<05221> (8689)
two
<08147>
lionlike men
<0739>
of Moab
<04124>_:
he went down
<03381> (8804)
also and slew
<05221> (8689)
a lion
<0738>
in the midst
<08432>
of a pit
<0953>
in time
<03117>
of snow
<07950>_:
{who...: Heb. great of acts} {lionlike...: Heb. lion of God}
23:21
And he slew
<02026> (8799)
an Egyptian
<04713>_,
a goodly
<04758>
man
<0376>_:
and the Egyptian
<04713>
had a spear
<02595>
in his hand
<03027>_;
but he went down
<03381> (8799)
to him with a staff
<07626>_,
and plucked
<01497> (8799)
the spear
<02595>
out of the Egyptian's
<04713>
hand
<03027>_,
and slew
<05221> (8689)
him with his own spear
<02595>_.
{a goodly...: Heb. a man of countenance, or, sight: also called, a man of great stature}
23:22
These [things] did
<06213> (8804)
Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_,
and had the name
<08034>
among three
<07969>
mighty men
<01368>_.
23:23
He was more honourable
<03513> (8737)
than the thirty
<07970>_,
but he attained
<0935> (8804)
not to the [first] three
<07969>_.
And David
<01732>
set
<07760> (8799)
him over his guard
<04928>_.
{more...: or, honourable among the thirty} {guard: or, council: Heb. at his command}
23:24
Asahel
<06214>
the brother
<0251>
of Joab
<03097>
[was] one of the thirty
<07970>_;
Elhanan
<0445>
the son
<01121>
of Dodo
<01734>
of Bethlehem
<01035>_,

<02460>
the son

24:1
And again
<03254> (8686)
the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was kindled
<02734> (8800)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and he moved
<05496> (8686)
David
<01732>
against them to say
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
number
<04487> (8798)
Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_.
24:2
For the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>
the captain
<08269>
of the host
<02428>_,
which [was] with him, Go now through
<07751> (8798)
all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_,
and number
<06485> (8798)
ye the people
<05971>_,
that I may know
<03045> (8804)
the number
<04557>
of the people
<05971>_.
{Go: or, Compass}
24:3
And Joab
<03097>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
Now the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
add
<03254> (8686)
unto the people
<05971>_,
how many soever
<01992>
they be, an hundredfold
<03967> <06471>_,
and that the eyes
<05869>
of my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
may see
<07200> (8802)
[it]: but why doth my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
delight
<02654> (8804)
in this thing
<01697>_?
24:4
Notwithstanding the king's
<04428>
word
<01697>
prevailed
<02388> (8799)
against Joab
<03097>_,
and against the captains
<08269>
of the host
<02428>_.
And Joab
<03097>
and the captains
<08269>
of the host
<02428>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from the presence
<06440>
of the king
<04428>_,
to number
<06485> (8800)
the people
<05971>
of Israel
<03478>_.
24:5
And they passed over
<05674> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in Aroer
<06177>_,
on the right side
<03225>
of the city
<05892>
that [lieth] in the midst
<08432>
of the river
<05158>
of Gad
<01410>_,
and toward Jazer
<03270>_:
{river: or, valley}
24:6
Then they came
<0935> (8799)
to Gilead
<01568>_,
and to the land
<0776>
of Tahtimhodshi
<08483>_;
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Danjaan
<01842>_,
and about
<05439>
to Zidon
<06721>_,
{land of Tahtimhodshi: or, nether land newly inhabited}
24:7
And came
<0935> (8799)
to the strong hold
<04013>
of Tyre
<06865>_,
and to all the cities
<05892>
of the Hivites
<02340>_,
and of the Canaanites
<03669>_:
and they went out
<03318> (8799)
to the south
<05045>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[even] to Beersheba
<0884>_.
24:8
So when they had gone
<07751> (8799)
through all the land
<0776>_,
they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
at the end
<07097>
of nine
<08672>
months
<02320>
and twenty
<06242>
days
<03117>_.
24:9
And Joab
<03097>
gave up
<05414> (8799)
the sum
<04557>
of the number
<04662>
of the people
<05971>
unto the king
<04428>_:
and there were in Israel
<03478>
eight
<08083>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
valiant
<02428>
men
<0376> (8677) <0381>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
the sword
<02719>_;
and the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
[were] five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
24:10
And David's
<01732>
heart
<03820>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him after
<0310>
that he had numbered
<05608> (8804)
the people
<05971>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)
greatly
<03966>
in that I have done
<06213> (8804)_:
and now, I beseech thee, O LORD
<03068>_,
take away
<05674> (8685)
the iniquity
<05771>
of thy servant
<05650>_;
for I have done very
<03966>
foolishly
<05528> (8738)_.
24:11
For when David
<01732>
was up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto the prophet
<05030>
Gad
<01410>_,
David's
<01732>
seer
<02374>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
24:12
Go
<01980> (8800)
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto David
<01732>_,
Thus saith
<01696> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_,
I offer
<05190> (8802)
thee three
<07969>
[things]; choose
<0977> (8798)
thee one
<0259>
of them, that I may [do it] unto thee
<06213> (8799)_.
24:13
So Gad
<01410>
came
<0935> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Shall seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
of famine
<07458>
come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee in thy land
<0776>_?
or wilt thou flee
<05127> (8800)
three
<07969>
months
<02320>
before
<06440>
thine enemies
<06862>_,
while they pursue
<07291> (8802)
thee? or that there be three
<07969>
days
<03117>_'
pestilence
<01698>
in thy land
<0776>_?
now advise
<03045> (8798)_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
what answer
<01697>
I shall return
<07725> (8686)
to him that sent
<07971> (8802)
me.
24:14
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gad
<01410>_,
I am in a great
<03966>
strait
<06887> (8804)_:
let us fall
<05307> (8799)
now into the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
for his mercies
<07356>
[are] great
<07227>_:
and let me not fall
<05307> (8799)
into the hand
<03027>
of man
<0120>_.
{are great: or, are many}
24:15
So the LORD
<03068>
sent
<05414> (8799)
a pestilence
<01698>
upon Israel
<03478>
from the morning
<01242>
even to the time
<06256>
appointed
<04150>_:
and there died
<04191> (8799)
of the people
<05971>
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>
seventy
<07657>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
24:16
And when the angel
<04397>
stretched out
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
upon Jerusalem
<03389>
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
it, the LORD
<03068>
repented
<05162> (8735)
him of the evil
<07451>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to the angel
<04397>
that destroyed
<07843> (8688)
the people
<05971>_,
It is enough
<07227>_:
stay
<07503> (8685)
now thine hand
<03027>_.
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
was by the threshingplace
<01637>
of Araunah
<0728>
the Jebusite
<02983>_.
{Araunah: also called, Ornan}
24:17
And David
<01732>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
when he saw
<07200> (8800)
the angel
<04397>
that smote
<05221> (8688)
the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo, I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and I have done wickedly
<05753> (8689)_:
but these sheep
<06629>_,
what have they done
<06213> (8804)_?
let thine hand
<03027>_,
I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
24:18
And Gad
<01410>
came
<0935> (8799)
that day
<03117>
to David
<01732>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
rear
<06965> (8685)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>
in the threshingfloor
<01637>
of Araunah
<0728>
the Jebusite
<02983>_.
{Araunah: Heb. Araniah}
24:19
And David
<01732>_,
according to the saying
<01697>
of Gad
<01410>_,
went up
<05927> (8799)
as the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
24:20
And Araunah
<0728>
looked
<08259> (8686)_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the king
<04428>
and his servants
<05650>
coming on
<05674> (8802)
toward him: and Araunah
<0728>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself before the king
<04428>
on his face
<0639>
upon the ground
<0776>_.
24:21
And Araunah
<0728>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore is my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
come
<0935> (8804)
to his servant
<05650>_?
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
To buy
<07069> (8800)
the threshingfloor
<01637>
of thee, to build
<01129> (8800)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
that the plague
<04046>
may be stayed
<06113> (8735)
from the people
<05971>_.
24:22
And Araunah
<0728>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Let my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
take
<03947> (8799)
and offer up
<05927> (8686)
what [seemeth] good
<02896>
unto him
<05869>_:
behold
<07200> (8798)_,
[here be] oxen
<01241>
for burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,
and threshing instruments
<04173>
and [other] instruments
<03627>
of the oxen
<01241>
for wood
<06086>_.
24:23
All these [things] did Araunah
<0728>_,
[as] a king
<04428>_,
give
<05414> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>_.
And Araunah
<0728>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
The LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
accept
<07521> (8799)
thee.
24:24
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Araunah
<0728>_,
Nay; but I will surely
<07069> (8800)
buy
<07069> (8799)
[it] of thee at a price
<04242>_:
neither will I offer
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
of that which doth cost me nothing
<02600>_.
So David
<01732>
bought
<07069> (8799)
the threshingfloor
<01637>
and the oxen
<01241>
for fifty
<02572>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_.
24:25
And David
<01732>
built
<01129> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>_.
So the LORD
<03068>
was intreated
<06279> (8735)
for the land
<0776>_,
and the plague
<04046>
was stayed
<06113> (8735)
from Israel
<03478>_.
