Famine oppre&esset;ing Israel three yeares, for the sinne of Saul agaynst the Gabaonites,

bones with Sauls and Ionathas are buried in the Land of Beniamin. 15.
Dauid hath foure great battels and victories against the Philistians.
1 And there came a famine in the daies of Dauid three
yeares continually: and Dauid consulted the oracle of
our Lord. And our Lord sayd: For Saul, and his bloudy house,
because he slewe the Gabaonites.
2 The king therfore calling
the Gabaonites, sayd to them. (Moreouer the Gabaonites
were not of the children of Israel, but the reliques of the
Amorrheites: For the children of Israel had sworne to them,
and Saul would strike them of zeale, as it were for the children
of Israel and Iuda.)
3 Dauid therfore sayd to the Gabaonites:
What shal I do for you? And what shal be the expiation
for you, that you may blesse the inheritance of our
Lord?
4 And the Gabaonites sayd to him: We haue no

question vpon siluer and gold, but agaynst Saul, and agaynst
his house: neither wil we that a man be slayne of Israel. To
whom the king sayd: What wil you then that I do for you?
5 Who sayd to the king? The man, that hath wasted vs and
oppressed vs vniustly, we must so destroy, that there be not
so much as one leift of his stocke in al the coastes of Israel.
6 Let there be geuen vs seuen men of his children, that we
may crucifie them to our Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the
chosen of our Lord. And the king sayd: I wil geue them.
7 And the king spared Miphiboseth the sonne of Ionathas
the sonne of Saul, for the oth of our Lord, that had beene
betwen Dauid, and betwen Ionathas the sonne of Saul.
8 The king therfore tooke the two sonnes of Respha the
daughter of Aia, whom she bare to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth:
and the fiue sonnes of Michol the daughter of Saul,
which she bare to Hadriel the sonne of Berzellai, that was
of Molathi,
9 and gaue them into the handes of the Gabaonites:
Who crucified them on a hil before our Lord: and
these seuen dyed together in the first dayes of haruest, when
the reaping of barley began.
10 And Respha the daughter of
Aia taking a heare cloth, spred it vnder her vpon the rocke
from the beginning of haruest, til water dropped vpon
them from heauen: and she suffered not the birdes to teare
them by day, nor the beastes by night.
11 And the thinges
were told Dauid, which Respha had done, the daughter of
Aia, the concubine of Saul.
12 And Dauid went, and tooke
the bones of Saul, and the bones of Ionathas his sonne from
the men of Iabees Galaad, who had stolen them out of the
streate of Bethsan, in the which the Philistijms hanged them
when they had killed Saul in Gelboe.
13 And he caried thence
the bones of Saul, and the bones of Ionathas his sonne: and
gathering the bones of them, that were crucified,
14 they
buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Ionathas his
sonne in the Land of Beniamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of
Cis his father: and they did al thinges that the king had commanded,
and God was made propitious agayne to the land
after these thinges.
15 And there was a battel made agayne of
the Philistianes against Israel, and Dauid went downe, and his
seruantes with him, and fought agaynst the Philisthijms. And

ounces, and he was girded with a new sword, assayed to strike
Dauid.
17 And Abisai the sonne of Saruia reskewed him, and
striking the Philistian killed him. Then sware Dauids men,
saying: Thou shalt no more goe forth with vs into battel,
lest thou put out the lampe of Israel.
18 There was also a second
battel in Gob against the Philistians: then stroke Sobochai
of Husathi, Saph of the stocke of Arapha of the
kinred of the gyantes.
19 There was also a third battel in Gob
agaynst the Philistians, in the which Adeodatus the sonne
of the Forest a broderer the Bethlehemite stroke Goliath the
Getheite, the shaft of whose speare was as it were a weauers
beame.
20 The fourth battel was in Geth: in the which
was a tal man, that had six fingers and six toes on eche hand
and foote, that is fowre and twentie, and he was of the race
of Arapha.
21 And he blasphemed Israel: and Ionathan the
sonne of Samaa the brother of Dauid stroke him.
22 These
foure were borne of Arapha in Geth, and they fel by the hand
of Dauid, and of his seruantes.
