사무엘하 21

1다윗의 시대에 년부년 삼 년 기근이 있으므로 다윗이 여호와 앞에 간구하매 여호와께서 가라사대 이는 사울과 피를 흘린 그 집을 인함이니 저가 기브온 사람을 죽였음이니라 하시니라 2기브온 사람은 이스라엘 족속이 아니요 아모리 사람 중에서 남은 자라 이스라엘 족속들이 전에 저희에게 맹세하였거늘 사울이 이스라엘과 유다 족속을 위하여 열심이 있으므로 저희 죽이기를 꾀하였더라 이에 왕이 기브온 사람을 불러 물으니라 3다윗이 저희에게 묻되 내가 너희를 위하여 어떻게 하랴 내가 어떻게 속죄하여야 너희가 여호와의 기업을 위하여 복을 빌겠느냐 4기브온 사람이 대답하되 사울과 그 집과 우리 사이의 일은 은금에 있지 아니하오나 이스라엘 가운데서 사람을 죽이는 일은 우리에게 있지 아니하니이다 왕이 가로되 너희의 말하는 대로 시행하리라 5저희가 왕께 고하되 우리를 학살하였고 또 우리를 멸하여 이스라엘 경내에 머물지 못하게 하려고 모해한 사람의 6자손 일곱을 내어 주소서 여호와의 빼신 사울의 고을 기브아에서 우리가 저희를 여호와 앞에서 목매어 달겠나이다 왕이 가로되 내가 내어 주리라 하니라 7그러나 다윗과 사울의 아들 요나단 사이에 서로 여호와를 가리켜 맹세한 것이 있으므로 왕이 사울의 손자 요나단의 아들 므비보셋은 아끼고 8이에 아야의 딸 리스바에게서 난 자 곧 사울의 두 아들 알모니와 므비보셋과 사울의 딸 메랍에게서 난 자 곧 므흘랏 사람 바실래의 아들 아드리엘의 다섯 아들을 잡고 9저희를 기브온 사람의 손에 붙이니 기브온 사람이 저희를 산 위에서 여호와 앞에 목매어 달매 저희 일곱 사람이 함께 죽으니 죽은 때는 곡식 베는 처음날 곧 보리 베기 시작하는 때더라 10아야의 딸 리스바가 굵은 베를 가져다가 자기를 위하여 반석 위에 펴고 곡식 베기 시작할 때부터 하늘에서 비가 시체에 쏟아지기까지 그 시체에 낮에는 공중의 새가 앉지 못하게 하고 밤에는 들짐승이 범하지 못하게 한지라 11이에 아야의 딸 사울의 첩 리스바의 행한 일이 다윗에게 들리매 12다윗이 가서 사울의 뼈와 그 아들 요나단의 뼈를 길르앗 야베스 사람에게서 취하니 이는 전에 블레셋 사람이 사울을 길보아에서 죽여 벳산 거리에 매어 단 것을 저희가 가만히 가져 온 것이라 13다윗이 그 곳에서 사울의 뼈와 그 아들 요나단의 뼈를 가지고 올라오매 사람들이 그 달려 죽은 자들의 뼈를 거두어다가 14사울과 그 아들 요나단의 뼈와 함께 베냐민 땅 셀라에서 그 아비 기스의 묘에 장사하되 모두 왕의 명대로 좇아 행하니라 그 후에야 하나님이 그 땅을 위하여 기도를 들으시니라 15블레셋 사람이 다시 이스라엘을 치거늘 다윗이 그 신복들과 함께 내려가서 블레셋 사람과 싸우더니 다윗이 피곤하매 16장대한 자의 아들 중에 삼백 세겔 중 되는 놋창을 들고 새 칼을 찬 이스비브놉이 다윗을 죽이려 하므로 17스루야의 아들 아비새가 다윗을 도와 그 블레셋 사람을 쳐 죽이니 다윗의 종자들이 다윗에게 맹세하여 가로되 왕은 다시 우리와 함께 전장에 나가지 마옵소서 이스라엘의 등불이 꺼지지 말게 하옵소서 하니라 18그 후에 다시 블레셋 사람과 곱에서 전쟁할 때에 후사 사람 십브개가 장대한 자의 아들 중에 삽을 쳐 죽였고 19또 다시 블레셋 사람과 곱에서 전쟁할 때에 베들레헴 사람 야레오르김의 아들 엘하난이 가드 골리앗의 아우 라흐미를 죽였는데 그 자의 창 자루는 베틀채 같았더라 20또 가드에서 전쟁할 때에 그곳에 키 큰 자 하나는 매 손과 매 발에 가락이 여섯씩 모두 스물네 가락이 있는데 저도 장대한 자의 소생이라 21저가 이스라엘 사람을 능욕하므로 다윗의 형 삼마의 아들 요나단이 저를 죽이니라 22이 네 사람 가드의 장대한 자의 소생이 다윗의 손과 그 신복의 손에 다 죽었더라

1There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.” 2The king called the Gibeonites, and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah); 3and David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?” 4The 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.” He said, “Whatever you say, that will I do for you.” 5They 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, 6let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.” 7But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8But 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 Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest. 10Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night. 11It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 12David 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 killed Saul in Gilboa; 13and 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. 14They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. After that God was entreated for the land. 15The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint; 16and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought to have slain David. 17But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go no more out with us to battle, that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.” 18It 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. 19There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20There 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, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him. 22These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

1En er was in Davids dagen een honger, drie jaren, jaar achter jaar; en David zocht het aangezicht des HEEREN. En de HEERE zeide: Het is om Saul en om des bloedhuizes wil, omdat hij de Gibeonieten gedood heeft. 2Toen riep de koning de Gibeonieten, en zeide tot hen: (De Gibeonieten nu waren niet van de kinderen Israels, maar van het overblijfsel der Amorieten; en de kinderen Israels hadden hun gezworen, maar Saul zocht hen te slaan in zijn ijver voor de kinderen van Israel en Juda.) 3David dan zeide tot de Gibeonieten: Wat zal ik ulieden doen, en waarmede zal ik verzoenen, dat gij het erfdeel des HEEREN zegent? 4Toen zeiden de Gibeonieten tot hem: Het is ons niet te doen om zilver en goud met Saul en met zijn huis; ook is het ons niet om iemand te doden in Israel. En hij zeide: Wat zegt gij dan, dat ik u doen zal? 5En zij zeiden tot den koning: De man die ons te niet gemaakt, en tegen ons gedacht heeft, dat wij zouden verdelgd worden, zonder te kunnen bestaan in enige landpale van Israel; 6Laat ons zeven mannen van zijn zonen gegeven worden, dat wij hen den HEERE ophangen te Gibea Sauls, o, gij verkorene des HEEREN! En de koning zeide: Ik zal hen geven. 7Doch de koning verschoonde Mefiboseth, den zoon van Jonathan, den zoon van Saul, om den eed des HEEREN, die tussen hen was, tussen David en tussen Jonathan, Sauls zoon. 8Maar de koning nam de twee zonen van Rizpa, dochter van Aja, die zij Saul gebaard had, Armoni en Mefiboseth; daartoe de vijf zonen van Michals zuster, Sauls dochter, die zij Adriel, den zoon van Barzillai, den Meholathiet, gebaard had; 9En hij gaf hen in de hand der Gibeonieten, die ze ophingen op den berg voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; en die zeven vielen tegelijk; en zij werden gedood in de dagen van den oogst, in de eerste dagen, in het begin van den gersteoogst. 10Toen nam Rizpa, de dochter van Aja, een zak, en spande dien voor zich uit op een rotssteen, van het begin van den oogst, totdat er water op hen drupte van den hemel; en zij liet het gevogelte des hemels op hen niet rusten des daags, noch het gedierte van het veld des nachts. 11En het werd David aangezegd, wat Rizpa, de dochter van Aja, Sauls bijwijf, gedaan had. 12Zo ging David henen, en nam de beenderen van Saul, en de beenderen van Jonathan, zijn zoon, van de burgeren van Jabes in Gilead, die dezelve gestolen hadden van de straat Beth-San, alwaar de Filistijnen ze hadden opgehangen, ten dage als de Filistijnen Saul sloegen op Gilboa. 13En hij bracht van daar op de beenderen van Saul, en de beenderen van Jonathan, zijn zoon; ook verzamelden zij de beenderen der gehangenen. 14En zij begroeven de beenderen van Saul en zijn zoon Jonathan in het land van Benjamin te Zela, in het graf van zijn vader Kis, en deden alles, wat de koning geboden had. Alzo werd God na dezen den lande verbeden. 15Voorts hadden de Filistijnen nog een krijg tegen Israel. En David toog af, en zijn knechten met hem, en streden tegen de Filistijnen, dat David moede werd. 16En Isbi Benob, die van de kinderen van Rafa was, en het gewicht zijner spies driehonderd gewicht kopers, en hij was aangegord met een nieuw zwaard; deze dacht David te slaan. 17Maar Abisai, de zoon van Zeruja, hielp hem, en sloeg den Filistijn, en doodde hem. Toen zwoeren hem de mannen van David, zeggende: Gij zult niet meer met ons uittrekken ten strijde, opdat gij de lamp van Israel niet uitblust. 18En het geschiedde daarna, dat er wederom een krijg was te Gob tegen de Filistijnen. Toen sloeg Sibbechai, de Husathiet, Saf, die van de kinderen van Rafa was. 19Voorts was er nog een krijg te Gob tegen de Filistijnen; en Elhanan, de zoon van Jaare-Oregim, sloeg Beth-Halachmi, dewelke was met Goliath, den Gethiet, wiens spiesenhout was als een weversboom. 20Nog was er ook een krijg te Gath; en er was een zeer lang man, die zes vingeren had aan zijn handen, en zes tenen aan zijn voeten, vier en twintig in getal, en deze was ook aan Rafa geboren. 21En hij hoonde Israel; maar Jonathan, de zoon van Simea, Davids broeder, sloeg hem. 22Deze vier waren aan Rafa geboren te Gath; en zij vielen door de hand van David, en door de hand zijner knechten.
