2 Samuel 21 - Bíblia Online

Davi vinga os gibeonitas
Durante o reinado de Davi, houve uma terrível fome que durou três anos, e o rei consultou o Senhor a esse respeito. O Senhor disse: "A fome veio porque Saul e sua família são culpados de terem matado os gibeonitas". 
Então o rei mandou chamar os gibeonitas. Eles não faziam parte do povo de Israel, mas eram tudo que restava dos amorreus. Os israelitas tinham jurado que não os matariam, mas Saul, em seu zelo por Israel e Judá, havia tentado exterminá-los. 3 Davi lhes perguntou: "O que posso fazer por vocês? Como posso reparar o mal que lhes foi feito, para que vocês abençoem o povo do Senhor?". 
Os gibeonitas responderam: "Prata e ouro não resolverão a questão entre nós e a família de Saul. Também não temos o direito de exigir a vida de ninguém em Israel". 
"Que farei por vocês, então?", perguntou Davi. 
Eles responderam: "Saul planejava nos destruir; queria nos impedir de ter um lugar no território de Israel. 6 Portanto, entregue-nos sete dos filhos de Saul, para que os executemos diante do Senhor em Gibeá, no monte do Senhor". 
"Está bem", disse o rei. "Farei o que me pedem." 7 O rei poupou a vida de Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento que Davi e Jônatas haviam feito diante do Senhor. 8 Contudo, entregou-lhes Armoni e Mefibosete, os dois filhos de Saul com Rispa, filha de Aiá. Também entregou-lhes os cinco filhos de Merabe, filha de Saul, esposa de Adriel, filho de Barzilai, de Meolá. 9 Os homens de Gibeom os executaram no monte, diante do Senhor. Os sete foram mortos ao mesmo tempo, no início da colheita da cevada. 
Então Rispa, filha de Aiá, estendeu um pano de saco sobre uma rocha e ficou ali todo o período da colheita. Não deixou que as aves de rapina despedaçassem os corpos deles durante o dia e impediu os animais selvagens de os devorarem durante a noite. 11 Quando Davi soube o que Rispa, concubina de Saul, havia feito, 12 foi até o povo de Jabes-Gileade para reaver os ossos de Saul e de seu filho Jônatas. (Quando os filisteus mataram Saul e Jônatas no monte Gilboa, o povo de Jabes-Gileade tinha roubado os corpos deles da praça de Bete-Seã, onde os filisteus os haviam pendurado.) 13 Davi trouxe os ossos de Saul e de Jônatas, e também os ossos dos homens que os gibeonitas haviam executado. 
O rei ordenou que os ossos de Saul e de Jônatas fossem enterrados na sepultura de Quis, pai de Saul, na cidade de Zela, na terra de Benjamim. Depois disso, Deus atendeu às orações em favor do povo. 
Batalhas contra gigantes filisteus
Mais uma vez, houve guerra entre os filisteus e Israel. Quando Davi e seus soldados estavam no meio de uma batalha, Davi perdeu as forças e ficou exausto. 16 Isbibenobe era descendente de gigantes, e a ponta de sua lança de bronze pesava cerca de 3,5 quilos. Ele estava armado com uma espada nova e jurou que ia matar Davi. 17 Mas Abisai, filho de Zeruia, veio socorrer Davi e matou o filisteu. Então os homens de Davi exigiram: "O senhor não vai mais sair conosco para lutar! Por que correr o risco de apagar a lâmpada de Israel?". 
Depois disso, houve outra batalha contra os filisteus, em Gobe. Enquanto lutavam, Sibecai, de Husate, matou Safe, outro descendente de gigantes. 
Durante uma batalha em Gobe, Elanã, filho de Jair, de Belém, matou o irmão de Golias, de Gate. O cabo de sua lança era da grossura de um eixo de tecelão. 
Em outra batalha com os filisteus em Gate, havia um homem de grande estatura com seis dedos em cada mão e seis dedos em cada pé, 24 dedos ao todo, que também era descendente de gigantes. 21 Mas, quando ele desafiou os israelitas e zombou deles, foi morto por Jônatas, filho de Simeia, irmão de Davi. 
Esses quatro filisteus eram descendentes dos gigantes de Gate, mas Davi e seus guerreiros os mataram. 

And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of LORD. And LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites. 
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and [yet] Saul sought to kill them in his zeal 
and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of LORD? 
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you. 
And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel, 
let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of LORD. And the king said, I will give them. 
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before LORD, and they fell [all] seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of 
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven. And she neither allowed the birds of the heaven to rest on them by day 
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines kille 
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged. 
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulcher of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was appealed for the land. 
And the Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint, 
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David. 
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall no more go out with us to battle, that thou not quench the lamp of Israel. 
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant. 
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant. 
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, killed him. 
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
