The XXI. Chapter.
A There was a derth also in Dauids tyme
thre yeares together. And Dauid
soughte the face of þe; LORDE. And
the LORDE sayde: Because of Saul and because
of that bloudy housholde note þt; he slewe
the Gibeonites. Then the kynge caused for
to call the Gibeonites, and spake vnto them.
(As for the Gibeonites, they were not of þe;
children of Israel, but a remnaunt of the
Amorites: howbeit note the children of Israel
had sworne vnto th&ebar;, and Saul soughte for
to smyte them in his gelousy, for the childr&ebar;
of Israel and Iuda.) Then sayde Dauid to
the Gibeonites: What shal I do vnto you?
And where withall shal I make the attonement,
that ye maye blesse þe; enheritaunce of
þe; LORDE? The Gibeonites sayde vnto him:
It is not for golde and syluer that we haue
to do &wt; Saul and his house, nether haue we
oughte to do for to slaye eny m&abar; in Israel.
B He sayde: What saye ye then, that I shal
do vnto you? They sayde vnto þe; kynge: The
man that hath destroyed vs and broughte
vs to naughte, shulde we destroye, that nothinge
be lefte him in all the coastes of Israel.
Let there be geuen vs seuen men of his
sonnes, that we maye hange them vp vnto
the LORDE at Gibea of Saul the chosen of
the LORDE. The kynge sayde: I wyll geue
them. Howbeit the kynge spared Mephiboseth
þe; sonne of Ionathas þe; sonne of Saul,
because of the ooth of the LORDE þt; was
betwene them: note namely, betwene Dauid ∧
Ionathas the sonne of Saul. But the two
sonnes of Rispa þe; doughter of Aia, whom
she had borne vnto Saul, Armoni ∧ Mephiboseth,
And the fyue sonnes of Michol the
doughter of Saul, whom she bare vnto Adriel
the sonne of Barsillai the Mahalothite,
dyd the kynge take, and gaue them in to
the handes of þe; Gibeonites, which hanged
th&ebar; vp vp&obar; the mount before the LORDE.
C So these seuen fell at one tyme, and dyed
in the tyme of the first haruest, whan þe; barly
haruest begynneth. Then toke Rispa the
doughter of Aia a sack cloth, ∧ spred it vpon
the rock in the begynnynge of the haruest,
tyll the water from the heauen dropped vp&obar;
them, and suffred not the foules of the heauen
to rest on them on the daye tyme, nether
the wylde beestes of the felde on the nighte
season. And it was tolde Dauid what Rispa
the doughter of Aia Sauls concubyne
had done.
And Dauid wente and toke the bones of
Saul and the bones of Ionathas his sonne
from þe; citesens at Iabes in Gilead (which
they note had stollen from þe; strete at Bethsan,
where þe; Philistynes had hanged th&ebar;, what
tyme as the Philistynes had smytten Saul
vpon mount Gilboa) and broughte them vp
from thence, and gathered them together &wt;
the bones of them that were hanged.
D And
-- --
the bones of Saul and of his sonne Ionathas
buried they in þe; londe of Ben Iamin,
besyde þe; graue of his father Cis. So after
this was God at one with the londe.
But there arose warre agayne of þe; Philistynes
agaynst Israel. And Dauid wente
downe ∧ his seruauntes with him, ∧ foughte
agaynst the Philistynes. And Dauid was
weery, ∧ Ie&esset;bi of Nob (which was one of
the children of Rapha, and the weight of
his speare was thre C. weight of brasse, and
had a new harnesse vpon him) thoughte to
smyte Dauid. Neuertheles Abisai the sonne
of Zeru Ia helped him, ∧ smote the Philistyne
to death. Then sware Dauids men vnto
him, ∧ sayde: note Thou shalt nomore go forth
with vs vnto the warre, that the lanterne in
Israel be not put out.
E noteAfterwarde there arose yet warre at
Nob with the Philistynes. Then Sibechai
the Husathite smote Saph, which also was
one of the childr&ebar; of Rapha.
And there arose yet warre at Gob with
the Philistynes. Then Elhanan the sonne
of Iaere Orgim a Bethleemite smote Goliath
the Gethite, which had a speare, whose
shaft was like a weeuers lome.
And there arose yet warre at Gath, where
there was a c&obar;tencious man, which had
sixe fyngers on his handes, and sixe toes on
his fete, that is foure and tw&ebar;ty in the nombre,
and he was borne also of Rapha. And
whan he spake despitefully vnto Israel, Ionathas
þe; sonne of Simea Dauids brother
smote him. These foure were borne vnto Rapha
at Gath, and fell thorow the hande of
Dauid and of his seruauntes.
