8
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she gave birth unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she had given birth unto Adriel, the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite;
9
and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they disjointed them
hanging them from a tree in the hill before the LORD; and they fell
all seven together and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first
days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10
And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it upon the rock from the beginning of harvest until water rained upon them out of heaven and allowed neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.
11
And it was told David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12
Then David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan, his son, from the men of Jabeshgilead, who had stolen them from the plaza of Bethshan where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa;
13
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan, his son; and they gathered the bones of those that had been disjointed
by being hanged from a tree,
14
and they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan, his son, in the land of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
15
And the Philistines made war again with Israel; and David went down, and his slaves with him, and fought against the Philistines; and David became weary.
16
And Ishbibenob, who
was of the sons of the giant, and the weight of whose spear
was three hundred
shekels of brass in weight, was girded with a new
sword and had determined to kill David.
17
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, helped David, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto him, saying, From now on thou shalt not go out with us to battle that thou not quench the light of Israel.
18
And after this, there was a second war with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbechai, the Hushathite, slew Saph, who
was of the sons of the giant.
