2.Samuel 21 | Синодальный перевод
1Был голод на земле во дни Давида три года, год за годом. И вопросил Давид Господа. И сказал Господь: это ради Саула и кровожадного дома его, за то, что он умертвил Гаваонитян.2Тогда царь призвал Гаваонитян и говорил с ними. Гаваонитяне были не из сынов Израилевых, но из остатков Аморреев; Израильтяне же дали им клятву, но Саул хотел истребить их по ревности своей о потомках Израиля и Иуды.3И сказал Давид Гаваонитянам: что мне сделать для вас, и чем примирить вас, чтобы вы благословили наследие Господне?4И сказали ему Гаваонитяне: не нужно нам ни серебра, ни золота от Саула, или от дома его, и не нужно нам, чтоб умертвили кого в Израиле. Он сказал: чего же вы хотите? я сделаю для вас.5И сказали они царю: того человека, который губил нас и хотел истребить нас, чтобы не было нас ни в одном из пределов Израилевых, –6из его потомков выдай нам семь человек, и мы повесим их пред Господом в Гиве Саула, избранного Господом. И сказал царь: я выдам.7Но пощадил царь Мемфивосфея, сына Ионафана, сына Саулова, ради клятвы именем Господним, которая была между ними, между Давидом и Ионафаном, сыном Сауловым.8И взял царь двух сыновей Рицпы, дочери Айя, которая родила Саулу Армона и Мемфивосфея, и пять сыновей Мелхолы, дочери Сауловой, которых она родила Адриэлу, сыну Верзеллия из Мехолы,9и отдал их в руки Гаваонитян, и они повесили их на горе пред Господом. И погибли все семь вместе; они умерщвлены в первые дни жатвы, в начале жатвы ячменя.10Тогда Рицпа, дочь Айя, взяла вретище и разостлала его себе на той горе [и сидела] от начала жатвы до того времени, пока не полились на них воды Божии с неба, и не допускала касаться их птицам небесным днем и зверям полевым ночью.11И донесли Давиду, что сделала Рицпа, дочь Айя, наложница Саула.12И пошел Давид и взял кости Саула и кости Ионафана, сына его, у жителей Иависа Галаадского, которые тайно взяли их с площади Беф–Сана, где они были повешены Филистимлянами, когда убили Филистимляне Саула на Гелвуе.13И перенес он оттуда кости Саула и кости Ионафана, сына его; и собрали кости повешенных.14И похоронили кости Саула и Ионафана, сына его, в земле Вениаминовой, в Цела, во гробе Киса, отца его. И сделали все, что повелел царь, и умилостивился Бог над страною после того.15И открылась снова война между Филистимлянами и Израильтянами. И вышел Давид и слуги его с ним, и воевали с Филистимлянами; и Давид утомился.16Тогда Иесвий, один из потомков Рефаимов, у которого копье было весом в триста сиклей меди и который опоясан был новым мечом, хотел поразить Давида.17Но ему помог Авесса, сын Саруин, и поразил Филистимлянина и умертвил его. Тогда люди Давидовы поклялись, говоря: не выйдешь ты больше с нами на войну, чтобы не угас светильник Израиля.18Потом была снова война с Филистимлянами в Гобе; тогда Совохай Хушатянин убил Сафута, одного из потомков Рефаимов.19Было и другое сражение в Гобе; тогда убил Елханан, сын Ягаре–Оргима Вифлеемского, Голиафа Гефянина, у которого древко копья было, как навой у ткачей.20Было еще сражение в Гефе; и был [там] один человек рослый, имевший по шести пальцев на руках и на ногах, всего двадцать четыре, также из потомков Рефаимов,21и он поносил Израильтян; но его убил Ионафан, сын Сафая, брата Давидова.22Эти четыре были из рода Рефаимов в Гефе, и они пали от руки Давида и слуг его.
New International Reader’s Version
David makes things right for the people of Gibeon
1For three years in a row there wasn’t enough food in the land. That was while David was king. So David asked the LORD why he wasn’t blessing his people. The LORD said, ‘It is because Saul and his family committed murder. He put the people of Gibeon to death.’2The people of Gibeon weren’t a part of Israel. Instead, they were some of the Amorites who were still left alive. The Israelites had promised to spare them. But Saul had tried to put an end to them. That’s because he wanted to make Israel and Judah strong. So now King David sent for the people of Gibeon and spoke to them.3He asked them, ‘What would you like me to do for you? How can I make up for the wrong things that were done to you? I want you to be able to pray that the LORD will once again bless his land.’4The people of Gibeon answered him. They said, ‘No amount of silver or gold can make up for what Saul and his family did to us. And we can’t put anyone in Israel to death.’ ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ David asked.5They answered the king, ‘Saul nearly destroyed us. He made plans to wipe us out. We don’t have anywhere to live in Israel.6So let seven of the males in his family line be given to us. We’ll kill them. We’ll put their dead bodies out in the open in the sight of the LORD. We’ll do it at Gibeah of Saul. Saul was the LORD’s chosen king.’ So King David said, ‘I’ll give seven males to you.’7The king spared Mephibosheth. He was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of Saul. David had made a promise in front of the LORD. He had promised to be kind to Jonathan and the family line of his father Saul.8But the king chose Armoni and another Mephibosheth. They were the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah. Saul was their father. The king also chose the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab. Adriel, the son of Barzillai, was their father. Adriel was from Meholah.9King David handed them over to the people of Gibeon. They killed them. They put their dead bodies out in the open on a hill in the sight of the LORD. All seven of them died together. They were put to death during the first days of the harvest. It happened just when people were beginning to harvest the barley.10Aiah’s daughter Rizpah took some rough cloth people wear when they’re sad. She spread it out for herself on a rock. She stayed there from the beginning of the harvest until it rained. The rain poured down from the sky on the dead bodies of the seven males. She didn’t let the birds touch them by day. She didn’t let the wild animals touch them at night.11Someone told David what Rizpah had done. She was Aiah’s daughter and Saul’s concubine.12David went and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. He got them from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. They had stolen their bodies from the main street in Beth Shan. That’s where the Philistines had hung their bodies up on the city wall. They had done it after they struck Saul down on Mount Gilboa.13David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from Jabesh Gilead. The bones of the seven males who had been killed and put out in the open were also gathered up.14The bones of Saul and his son Jonathan were buried in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. The tomb was at Zela in the territory of Benjamin. Everything the king commanded was done. After that, God answered prayer and blessed the land.
Wars against the Philistines
15Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines. He became very tired.16Ishbi-Benob belonged to the family line of Rapha. The tip of his bronze spear weighed 3.5 kilograms. He was also armed with a new sword. He said he would kill David.17But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to save David. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men made a promise. They said to David, ‘We never want you to go out with us to battle again. You are the lamp of Israel’s kingdom. We want that lamp to keep on burning brightly.’18There was another battle against the Philistines. It took place at Gob. At that time Sibbekai killed Saph. Sibbekai was a Hushathite. Saph was from the family line of Rapha.19In another battle against the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan killed Goliath’s brother. Elhanan was the son of Jair from Bethlehem. Goliath was from the city of Gath. His spear was as big as a weaver’s rod.20There was still another battle. It took place at Gath. A huge man lived there. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. So the total number of his toes and fingers was 24. He was also from the family of Rapha.21He made fun of Israel. So Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of David’s brother Shimeah.22Those four Philistine men lived in Gath. They were from the family line of Rapha. David and his men killed them.
