¹基遍人向扫罗家复仇

¹And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, `For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death the Gibeonites.`

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。

²And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah —

³大卫问基遍人：“我能为你们作什么？我该用什么来赎罪，使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢？”

³yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, `What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.`

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，我当为你们作什么？”

⁴And the Gibeonites say to him, `We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;` and he saith, `What ye are saying I do to you.`

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，

⁵And they say unto the king, `The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel —

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。”

⁶let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.` And the king saith, `I do give;`

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。

⁷and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;

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，和扫罗的女儿米拉为米何拉人巴西莱的儿子亚得列所生的五个儿子，

⁸and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,

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。

⁹and giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.

¹⁰爱雅的女儿利斯巴拿了一块麻布，为自己铺在磐石上。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。

¹⁰And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.

¹¹大卫埋葬扫罗与约拿单有人把扫罗的妃子，爱雅的女儿利斯巴所作的这事告诉了大卫，

¹¹And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done,

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。

¹²and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;

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。

¹³and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those hanged,

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。

¹⁴and bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.

¹⁵四败非利士人（代上20:4-8）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。

¹⁵And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,

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。

¹⁶and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting David,

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。”

¹⁷and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, `Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench the lamp of Israel.`

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。

¹⁸And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.

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。这人的矛杆好像织布的机轴那么粗大。

¹⁹And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.

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。

²⁰And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,

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。

²¹and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;

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。

²²these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
