18 Then she spoke, saying, In former times, they said,
They shall surely ask counsel at Avel: and so all matters
were ended.
19 I am one of those that are peaceful and faithful in
Yisrael: you seek to destroy a city and an eema in Yisrael:
why will you swallow up the inheritance of vuvh?
20 And Yoav answered and said, Far be it, far be it from
me, that I should swallow up, or destroy you, or your city.
21 That’s not the issue: but a man of Mount Efrayim,
Sheva the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand
against the melech, even against Dawid: deliver him only,
and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to
Yoav, See, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her
chochmah. And they cut off the head of Sheva the son of
Bichri, and cast it out to Yoav. And he blew a shofar, and
they returned from the city, every man to his tent. And
Yoav returned to Yahrushalayim to the melech. 846
23 Now Yoav was over all the army of Yisrael: and
Benyahu the son of Yahoyada was over the Cherethites
and over the Pelethites:
24 And Adoram was over the tribute: and Yahushaphat
the son of Ahilud was recorder:
25 And Shewa was Sopher: and Tzadok and Aviathar
were the Kohanim:
26 And Aza also the Yairite was a kohen to Dawid.
21 Then there was a famine in the days of Dawid three
years, year after year; and Dawid inquired of vuvh. And
vuvh answered, It is for Shaul, and for his bloody bayit,
because he killed the Giveonites.
2 And the melech called the Giveonites, and said to them
- now the Giveonites were not of the children of Yisrael,
but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of
Yisrael had sworn to them: and Shaul sought to slay them
in his zeal for the children of Yisrael and Yahudah -
3 Therefore Dawid said to the Giveonites, What shall I do
for you? And how shall I make the keporah that you may
bless the inheritance of vuvh?
4 And the Giveonites said to him, We will have no silver,
or gold from Shaul, nor from his bayit; neither for us shall
you kill any man in Yisrael. And he said, What you shall
say, that will I do for you.
5 And they answered the melech, The man that consumed
us, and that devised against us that we should be
destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Yisrael,
6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we
will hang them up to vuvh in Givat of Shaul, whom vuvh
did choose. And the melech said, I will give them.
7 But the melech spared Mephibosheth, the son of
Yonathan the son of Shaul, because of vuvh's oath that
was between them, between Dawid and Yonathan the son
of Shaul.
8 But the melech took the two sons of Ritzpah the
daughter of Ayah, whom she bore to Shaul, Armoni and
Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter
of Shaul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of
Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Giveonites,
and they hanged them in the hill before vuvh: and they
fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days
of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of the barley
harvest.
SCHMUEL BET - SECOND SAMUEL
- 224 -
10 And Ritzpah the daughter of Ayah took sackcloth, and
spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of
harvest until mayim dropped upon them out of the
shamayim, and allowed neither the birds of the air to rest
on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 And it was told Dawid what Ritzpah the daughter of
Ayah, the concubine of Shaul, had done.
12 And Dawid went and took the bones of Shaul and the
bones of Yonathan his son from the men of Yavesh-
Gilad, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-Shan,
where the Plishtim had hanged them, when the Plishtim
had slain Shaul in Gilboa:
13 And he brought up from there the bones of Shaul and
the bones of Yonathan his son; and they gathered the
bones of them that were hanged.
14 And the bones of Shaul and Yonathan his son they
buried in the country of Benyamin in Tzelah, in the tomb
of Kish his abba: and they performed all that the melech
commanded. And after that Elohim heard the tefillah for
the land.
15 Moreover the Plishtim had war again with Yisrael; and
Dawid went down, and his avadim with him, and fought
against the Plishtim: and Dawid grew weary.
16 And Yishbo-Benov, who was one of the sons of the
giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred
shekels of bronze in weight, he being girded with a new
sword, thought he had slain Dawid.
17 But Avishai the son of Tzuruyah helped him, and
smote the Plishti, and killed him. Then the men of Dawid
swore to him, saying, You shall go no more out with us to
battle, that you quench not the light of Yisrael.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a
battle with the Plishtim at Gov: then Sivechai the
Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 And there was again a battle in Gov with the Plishtim,
where Elchanan the son of Yaare-Oregim, a Beth-
Lechemite, killed the brother of Golyat the Gittite, the
staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 And there was a battle in Gat again, where was a man
of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on
every foot six toes, twenty-four in total; and he also was
born to the giant.
21 And when he defied Yisrael, Yonathan the son of
Shimea the brother of Dawid killed him.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gat, and fell by
the hand of Dawid, and by the hand of his avadim.

And Dawid spoke to vuvh the words of this shir in
the day that vuvh had delivered him out of the hand of all
his enemies, and out of the hand of Shaul:
2 And he said, vuvh is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my
Deliverer;
3 The Elohim of my Rock; in Him will I trust: He is my
shield, and the horn of my Yahshua, my High Tower, and
my Refuge, my Savior; You save me from violence.
4 I will call on vuvh, who is worthy to be praised: so shall
I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of
wicked men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of
death were before me;
7 In my distress I called upon vuvh, and cried to my
Elohim: and He did listen to my voice out of His Hekal,
