2 Samuel 21 - Bíblia Online

Houve nos dias de Davi uma fome de três anos consecutivos; e Davi consultou a Jeová. Jeová disse: Há sangue sobre Saul e sobre a sua casa, porque matou os gibeonitas. 
Chamou o rei aos gibeonitas e disse-lhes (ora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do resto dos amorreus; e os filhos de Israel se tinham ligado a eles por juramento; Saul, porém, procurou feri-los no seu zelo pelos filhos de Israel e de Judá), 
sim, Davi perguntou-lhes: Que quereis que eu vos faça? com que farei expiação, para que abençoeis a herança de Jeová? 
Responderam-lhe os gibeonitas: Não é por prata nem por ouro que temos questão com Saul ou com a sua casa; nem pretendemos tirar a vida a homem algum em Israel. Davi disse: O que vós disserdes, isso vos farei. 
Responderam ao rei: Quanto ao homem que nos consumiu e pensou em nos destruir, para que não ficássemos em qualquer termo de Israel, 
dêem-se-nos sete de seus filhos, para que os enforquemos a Jeová em Gibeá de Saul, o eleito de Jeová. Disse o rei: Eu os darei. 
O rei, porém, poupou a Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento de Jeová que havia entre eles, a saber, entre Davi e Jônatas, filho de Saul. 
Mas o rei tomou os dois filhos de Rispa, filha de Aiá, Armoni e Mefibosete, os quais houvera de Saul, também os cinco filhos de Merabe, filha de Saul, que ela deu à luz a Adriel, filho de Barzilai meolatita, 
e entregou-os nas mãos dos gibeonitas, que os enforcaram no monte diante de Jeová, e todos os sete caíram juntos. Foram mortos nos dias da ceifa, nos primeiros dias, no princípio da ceifa da cevada. 
Rispa, filha de Aiá, tomou um pano de cilício, e estendeu-o para si sobre uma pedra, desde o princípio da ceifa até que a água caiu do céu sobre eles; não deixou aproximar-se deles as aves de dia, nem as feras de noite. 
Foi contado a Davi o que fizera Rispa, filha de Aiá e concubina de Saul. 
Foi Davi e tomou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas aos homens de Jabes-Gileade, que os tinham roubado da praça de Bate-Sã, na qual os filisteus os tinham pendurado no dia em que mataram a Saul em Gilboa. 
Dali trouxe Davi os ossos de Saul e os de seu filho Jônatas; e recolheram os ossos dos que foram enforcados. 
Enterraram os ossos de Saul e de seu filho Jônatas na terra de Benjamim, em Zela, na sepultura de Quis seu pai. Fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara. Depois disto Deus se tornou propício para com a terra. 
De novo fizeram os filisteus guerra contra Israel. Desceu Davi com os seus servos, e pelejaram contra os filisteus. Ficando Davi muito fatigado, 
Isbi-Benobe, que era dos filhos do gigante, cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de cobre, e que cingia uma espada nova, intentou matá-lo. 
Abisai, porém, filho de Zeruia, socorreu-o, feriu ao filisteu e matou-o. Então os homens de Davi lhe juraram, dizendo: Não tornarás a sair conosco à batalha, para que não apagues a lâmpada de Israel. 
Depois disto houve ainda em Gobe uma guerra contra os filisteus; então Sibecai husatita matou a Safe, que era dos filhos do gigante. 
Houve ainda em Gobe mais uma guerra contra os filisteus; e Elanã, filho de Jaaré-Oregim, belemita, matou a Golias geteu, de cuja lança a haste era como órgão de tecelão. 
De novo houve guerra em Gate, onde estava um homem de grande estatura, o qual tinha seis dedos em cada mão, e em cada pé seis dedos, vinte e quatro ao todo. Este também nasceu gigante. 
Quando ele injuriava a Israel, tirou-lhe a vida Jônatas, filho de Simei, irmão de Davi. 
Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gate; e caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão dos seus servos. 

In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death. 
Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:) 
So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord? 
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you? 
And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel, 
Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them. 
But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul. 
But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite: 
And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley. 
And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night. 
And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done. 
And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa: 
And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging. 
And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do. And after that, God gave ear to their prayers for the land. 
And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines: 
And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death. 
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel. 
Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim. 
And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod. 
And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim. 
And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death. 
These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.
