2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
Facta est quoque fames in diebus David tribus annis iugiter: et consuluit David oraculum Domini. Dixitque Dominus: Propter Saul, et domum eius sanguinum, quia occidit Gabaonitas.
2 Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
Vocatis ergo Gabaonitis rex, dixit ad eos. (Porro Gabaonitae non erant de filiis Israel, sed reliquiae Amorrhaeorum: filii quippe Israel iuraverant eis, et voluit Saul percutere eos zelo, quasi pro filiis Israel et Iuda.)
3 And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
Dixit ergo David ad Gabaonitas: Quid faciam vobis? et quod erit vestri piaculum, ut benedicatis hereditati Domini?
4 The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
Dixeruntque ei Gabaonitae: Non est nobis super argento et auro quaestio, sed contra Saul, et contra domum eius: neque volumus ut interficiatur homo de Israel. Ad quos rex ait: Quid ergo vultis ut faciam vobis?
5 Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
Qui dixerunt regi: Virum, qui attrivit nos et oppressit inique, ita delere debemus, ut ne unus quidem residuus sit de stirpe eius in cunctis finibus Israel.
6 Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
Dentur nobis septem viri de filiis eius, ut crucifigamus eos Domino in Gabaa Saul, quondam electi Domini. Et ait rex: Ego dabo.
7 But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
Pepercitque rex Miphiboseth filio Ionathae filii Saul, propter iusiurandum Domini, quod fuerat inter David et inter Ionathan filium Saul.
8 But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Tulit itaque rex duos filios Respha filiae Aia, quos peperit Sauli, Armoni, et Miphiboseth: et quinque filios Michol filiae Saul, quos genuerat Hadrieli filio Berzellai, qui fuit de Molathi,
9 And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
et dedit eos in manus Gabaonitarum: qui crucifixerunt eos in monte coram Domino: et ceciderunt hi septem simul occisi in diebus messis primis, incipiente messione hordei.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
Tollens autem Respha filia Aia, cilicium substravit sibi supra petram ab initio messis, donec stillaret aqua super eos de caelo: et non dimisit aves lacerare eos per diem, neque bestias per noctem.
11 And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
Et nunciata sunt David quae fecerat Respha, filia Aia, concubina Saul.
12 And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
Et abiit David, et tulit ossa Saul, et ossa Ionathae filii eius a viris Iabes Galaad, qui furati fuerant ea de platea Bethsan, in qua suspenderant eos Philisthiim cum interfecissent Saul in Gelboe:
13 So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
et asportavit inde ossa Saul, et ossa Ionathae filii eius: et colligentes ossa eorum, qui affixi fuerant,
14 And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
sepelierunt ea cum ossibus Saul et Ionathae filii eius in Terra Beniamin, in latere, in sepulchro Cis patris eius: feceruntque omnia, quae praeceperat rex, et repropitiatus est Deus terrae post haec.
15 Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
Factum est autem rursum praelium Philisthinorum adversum Israel, et descendit David, et servi eius cum eo, et pugnabant contra Philisthiim. Deficiente autem David,
16 Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
Iesbibenob, qui fuit de genere arapha, cuius ferrum hastae trecentas uncias appendebat, et accinctus erat ense novo, nisus est percutere David.
17 But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
Praesidioque ei fuit Abisai filius Sarviae, et percussum Philisthaeum interfecit. Tunc iuraverunt viri David, dicentes: Iam non egredieris nobiscum in bellum, ne extinguas lucernam Israel.
18 And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
Secundum quoque bellum fuit in Gob contra Philisthaeos: tunc percussit Sobochai de Husati, Saph de stirpe arapha de genere gigantum.
19 And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
Tertium quoque fuit bellum in Gob contra Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus polymitarius Bethlehemites Goliath Gethaeum, cuius hastile hastae erat quasi liciatorium texentium.
20 Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
Quartum bellum fuit in Geth: in quo vir fuit excelsus, qui senos in manibus pedibusque habebat digitos, id est viginti quattuor, et erat de origine arapha.
21 And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
Et blasphemavit Israel: percussit autem eum Ionathan filius Samaa fratris David.
22 These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
Hi quattuor nati sunt de arapha in Geth, et ceciderunt in manu David, et servorum eius.
