撒母耳记下 21
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

基遍人向扫罗家复仇

21 大卫在位的日子，有连续三年的饥荒；大卫就寻求耶和华的面。耶和华说：“这是因为扫罗和扫罗家流人血的罪，因为他曾经杀死了基遍人。” 2 原来基遍人不是以色列人，而是亚摩利人中余剩的后人。以色列人曾经起誓与他们立约，但扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心，设法要击杀他们。王把基遍人召了来，对他们说话。 3 大卫问基遍人：“我能为你们作甚么？我该用甚么来赎罪，使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢？” 4 基遍人回答大卫：“我们与扫罗和他家的事，都与金子银子没有关系；我们也不愿以色列中有一个人被杀。”大卫问：“那么，你们说，我当为你们作甚么？” 5 他们回答王：“从前破坏我们，谋害我们，要消灭我们，使我们不能在以色列境内立足的那人， 6 现在请你把他子孙中的七个男丁交给我们，我们可以在基遍耶和华的山上，在耶和华面前把他们处决。”王说：“我必交给你们。”

7 王顾惜扫罗的孙子、约拿单的儿子米非波设，因为大卫与扫罗的儿子约拿单，曾经在耶和华面前有过誓约。 8 于是王逮捕了爱雅的女儿利斯巴为扫罗所生的两个儿子：亚摩尼和米非波设，和扫罗的女儿米拉（按照《马索拉文本》，“米拉”作“米甲”；现参照其他抄本和《七十士译本》翻译；参撒上18:19）为米何拉人巴西莱的儿子亚得列所生的五个儿子， 9 把他们交在基遍人的手里。基遍人就在山上耶和华面前把他们处决，这七人就一同倒毙了。他们被处死的时候，正是收获季节之初，就是开始收割大麦的时候。

10 爱雅的女儿利斯巴拿了一块麻布，为自己铺在盘石上。从开始收割的时候，直到雨水从天上倾倒在他们的尸身上的时候，白天她不让空中的飞鸟落在尸身上，夜间不让田间的走兽来糟践他们。

大卫埋葬扫罗与约拿单

11 有人把扫罗的妃子，爱雅的女儿利斯巴所作的这事告诉了大卫， 12 大卫就去把扫罗的骸骨和他儿子约拿单的骸骨，从基列．雅比人那里搬回来。原来非利士人从前在基利波山击杀扫罗那一天，就把他们二人的尸体挂在伯．珊的广场上，基列．雅比人却把他们偷了去。 13 大卫把扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨从那里搬上来；又有人收殓了那些被处决者的骸骨。 14 他们把扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨埋葬在便雅悯地的洗拉，在扫罗父亲基士的坟墓里。王所吩咐的一切，众人都行了。这事以后，　神垂听了人们为那地的祷告。

四败非利士人(A)

15 非利士人与以色列人又有了战事。大卫和跟随他的臣仆一同下去，要与非利士人争战；大卫疲倦了。 16 他们住在歌伯。有一个人，是巨人的儿子，他的铜矛有三公斤半重，又佩带着新刀；他想要击杀大卫。 17 洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛帮助了大卫；亚比筛击打那非利士人，把他杀死了。那时，跟随大卫的人向他起誓说：“以后你不可再与我们一同出去打仗，免得以色列的灯熄灭了。”

18 后来，以色列人又在歌伯与非利士人争战。那时，户沙人西比该击杀了巨人的一个儿子撒弗。 19 在歌伯又再与非利士人争战。伯利恒人雅雷俄珥金的儿子伊勒哈难击杀了迦特人歌利亚。这人的矛杆好象织布的机轴那么粗大。 20 在迦特又有一场战事，那里有一个身量高大的人，手脚都各有六个指头，总数是二十四个；这人也是巨人所生的。 21 这人向以色列人骂阵，大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单把他击杀了。 22 以上这四个人都是迦特城里那个巨人所生的，都死在大卫和大卫臣仆的手下。

The Famine Brings Justice

21 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David inquired of Yahweh,[a] and Yahweh said, “The bloodguilt is on Saul and on his household, because he killed the Gibeonites.” 2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not from the Israelites;[b] they were from the remainder of the Amorites. Now the Israelites[c] had sworn to them,[d] but Saul tried to wipe them out in his zeal for the Israelites[e] and Judah. 3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What can I do for you, and with what can I make amends that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?” 4 Then the Gibeonites said to him, “It is not a matter for us of[f] silver or gold with Saul or with his household. It is not for us to put to death anyone in Israel.” He asked, “What are you saying that I should do for you all?” 5 Then they said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us so that we were destroyed from existing in all of the territory of Israel, 6 let seven men from his sons be given over to us, and we will execute them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen one of Yahweh.” Then the king said, “I will give them over.” 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the sworn oath of Yahweh which was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 8 So the king took two of the sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, namely Armoni and Mephibosheth, and five of the sons of Michal the daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9 He gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they executed them on the mountain in the presence of Yahweh, and the seven fell together. Now they were put to death in the days of the harvest, at the beginning of the harvest of barley.

10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took the sackcloth, and she spread it for herself on the rock at the beginning of the harvest until water gushed forth on them from heaven, but she did not allow the birds of heaven to rest on them by day nor the animals of the field by night. 11 David was told about what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 12 So David left and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the rulers of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines hung them when[g] the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa. 13 He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of the executed. 14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and afterward God was entreated for the land.

Battles with the Philistines Recounted

15 There was war again for the Philistines with Israel, and David and his servants with him went down, and they fought the Philistines, and David grew weary. 16 Now Yishbi in Nob, who was among the descendents of Raphah[h] (now the weight of his spearhead was three hundredweight of bronze, and he was newly armed), said that he would kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us any longer to the battle, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.”

18 It happened afterward that there was again battle at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph who was among the descendants of the Raphah.

19 There was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, the Bethlehemite, killed Goliath[i] the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam of a weaver.

20 Once again there was battle at Gath, and there was a man of great size.[j] The fingers of his hand and the toes of his feet were six and six, twenty-four in number. He was also born to the Raphah. 21 He taunted Israel but Jonathan the son of Shimei, the brother of David, killed him. 22 These four were born for the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

2 Samuel 21
New International Version

The Gibeonites Avenged

21 During the reign of David, there was a famine(A) for three successive years; so David sought(B) the face of the Lord. The Lord said, “It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death.”

2 The king summoned the Gibeonites(C) and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.) 3 David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How shall I make atonement so that you will bless the Lord’s inheritance?”(D)

4 The Gibeonites answered him, “We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death.”(E)

“What do you want me to do for you?” David asked.

5 They answered the king, “As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel, 6 let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and their bodies exposed(F) before the Lord at Gibeah of Saul—the Lord’s chosen(G) one.”

So the king said, “I will give them to you.”

7 The king spared Mephibosheth(H) son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath(I) before the Lord between David and Jonathan son of Saul. 8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Aiah’s daughter Rizpah,(J) whom she had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab,[a] whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.(K) 9 He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies on a hill before the Lord. All seven of them fell together; they were put to death(L) during the first days of the harvest, just as the barley harvest was beginning.(M)

10 Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest till the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not let the birds touch them by day or the wild animals by night.(N) 11 When David was told what Aiah’s daughter Rizpah, Saul’s concubine, had done, 12 he went and took the bones of Saul(O) and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead.(P) (They had stolen their bodies from the public square at Beth Shan,(Q) where the Philistines had hung(R) them after they struck Saul down on Gilboa.)(S) 13 David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from there, and the bones of those who had been killed and exposed were gathered up.

14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish, at Zela(T) in Benjamin, and did everything the king commanded. After that,(U) God answered prayer(V) in behalf of the land.(W)

Wars Against the Philistines(X)

15 Once again there was a battle between the Philistines(Y) and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines, and he became exhausted. 16 And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels[b] and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David. 17 But Abishai(Z) son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp(AA) of Israel will not be extinguished.(AB)”

18 In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbekai(AC) the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.

19 In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair[c] the Bethlehemite killed the brother of[d] Goliath the Gittite,(AD) who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.(AE)

20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 21 When he taunted(AF) Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah,(AG) David’s brother, killed him.

22 These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
