1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he slew the Gabaonites. 2 And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them;-- (now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.) 3 And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord? 4 And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel. 5 And he said, What say ye? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel. 6 Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them]. 7 But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8 And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite. 9 And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley-harvest. 10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. 11 And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [[and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]] 12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines smote Saul in Gelbue. 13 And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged. 14 And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God hearkened to [the prayers of] the land. 15 And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went. 16 And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girt with a club, even he thought to smite David. 17 And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then the men of David swore, saying, Thou shalt not any longer go out with us to battle, and thou shalt not quench the lamp of Israel. 18 And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite slew Seph of the progeny of Rapha. 19 And there was a battle in Gob with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver’s beam. 20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha. 21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, smote him. 22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Δαυὶδ τρία ἔτη, ἐνιαυτὸς ὁ ἐχόμενος ἐνιαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτησε Δαυὶδ τὸ πρόσωπον Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀδικία ἐν θανάτῳ αἱμάτων αὐτοῦ, περὶ οὗ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας. 2 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· καὶ οἱ Γαβαωνῖται οὐχ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ εἰσιν, ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐκ τοῦ λείμματος τοῦ ᾿Αμορραίου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐζήτησε Σαοὺλ πατάξαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι αὐτὸν τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα. 3 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας· τί ποιήσω ἡμῖν καὶ ἐν τίνι ἐξιλάσομαι καὶ εὐλογήσετε τὴν κληρονομίαν Κυρίου; 4 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ Γαβαωνῖται· οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον μετὰ Σαοὺλ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀνὴρ θανατῶσαι ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ. 5 καὶ εἶπε·τί ὑμεῖς λέγετε καὶ ποιήσω ὑμῖν; καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ὁ ἀνήρ, ὃς συνετέλεσεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐδίωξεν ἡμᾶς, ὃς παρελογίσατο ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἡμᾶς· ἀφανίσωμεν αὐτόν, τοῦ μή ἑστάναι αὐτὸν ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ ᾿Ισραήλ· 6 δότω ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἄνδρας ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξηλιάσωμεν αὐτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῷ Γαβαὼν Σαοὺλ ἐκλεκτοὺς Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἐγὼ δώσω. 7 καὶ ἐφείσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸν ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον Κυρίου τὸν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱοῦ Σαούλ· 8 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ῥεσφὰ θυγατρὸς ῾Αϊᾶ, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ Σαούλ, τὸν ῾Ερμωνὶ καὶ τὸν Μεμφιβοσθέ, καὶ τοὺς πέντε υἱοὺς τῆς Μιχὸλ θυγατρὸς Σαούλ, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ ᾿Εσδριὴλ υἱῷ Βερζελλὶ τῷ Μουλαθί, 9 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν Γαβαωνιτῶν, καὶ ἐξηλίασαν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἔπεσαν οἱ ἑπτὰ αὐτοὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐθανατώθησαν ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ ἐν πρώτοις, ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν. 10 καὶ ἔλαβε Ῥεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ῾Αϊᾶ τὸν σάκκον καὶ ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν, ἕως ἔσταξεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκε τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταπαῦσαι ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ νυκτός. 11 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυὶδ ὅσα ἐποίησε Ῥεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ῾Αϊᾶ παλλακὴ Σαούλ· καὶ ἐξελύθησαν, καὶ κατέλαβεν αὐτοὺς Δὰν υἱὸς ᾿Ιωὰ ἐκ τῶν ἀπογόνων τῶν γιγάντων, 12 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ παρὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ιαβὶς Γαλαάδ, οἳ ἔκλεψαν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς πλατείας Βαιθσάν, ὅτι ἔστησαν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπάταξαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐν Γελβουέ, 13 καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ συνήγαγε τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἐξηλιασμένων. 14 καὶ ἔθαψαν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ τά ὀστᾶ τῶν ἡλιασθέντων ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ πλευρᾷ ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Κὶς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησαν πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεύς. καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς τῇ γῇ μετὰ ταῦτα. 15 Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔτι πόλεμος τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις μετὰ ᾿Ισραήλ. καὶ κατέβη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐξελύθη Δαυίδ. 16 καὶ ᾿Ιεσβί, ὃςἦν ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ῥαφὰ καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ τριακοσίων σίκλων ὁλκὴ χαλκοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς περιεζωσμένος κορύνην, καὶ διενοεῖτο τοῦ πατάξαι τὸν Δαυίδ. 17 καὶ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν. τότε ὤμοσαν οἱ ἄνδρες Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἔτι μεθ’ ἡμῶν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ οὐ μὴ σβέσῃς τὸν λύχνον ᾿Ισραήλ. 18 καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γὲθ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. τότε ἐπάταξε Σεβοχὰ ὁ ᾿Αστατωθὶ τὸν Σὲφ ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ῥαφά. 19 καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν Γὸβ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. καὶ ἐπάταξεν ᾿Ελεανὰν υἱὸς ᾿Αριωργὶμ ὁ Βηθλεεμίτης τὸν Γολιὰθ τὸν Γεθθαῖον, καὶ τὸ ξύλον τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων. 20 καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γέθ. καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ μαδών, καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἓξ καὶ ἕξ, εἰκοσιτέσσαρες ἀριθμῷ, καί γε αὐτὸς ἐτέχθη τῷ Ῥαφά. 21 καὶ ὠνείδισε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱὸς Σεμεΐ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ. 22 οἱ τέσσαρες οὗτοι ἐτέχθησαν ἀπόγονοι τῶν γιγάντων ἐν Γὲθ τῷ Ῥαφὰ οἶκος, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.
