10 And|strong="H8064" Rizpah|strong="H7532" the|strong="H5921" daughter|strong="H1323" of|strong="H1323" Aiah took|strong="H3947" sackcloth|strong="H8242", and|strong="H8064" spread|strong="H5186" it|strong="H5414" for|strong="H5704" her|strong="H5414" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" rock|strong="H6697", from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5921" beginning|strong="H8462" of|strong="H1323" harvest|strong="H7105" until|strong="H5704" water|strong="H4325" was|strong="H4325" poured|strong="H5413" upon|strong="H5921" them|strong="H5414" from|strong="H4480" heaven|strong="H8064"; and|strong="H8064" she|strong="H5921" suffered|strong="H5414" neither|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5921" birds|strong="H5775" of|strong="H1323" the|strong="H5921" heavens|strong="H8064" to|strong="H5704" rest|strong="H5117" on|strong="H5921" them|strong="H5414" by|strong="H5921" day|strong="H3119", nor|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5921" beasts|strong="H2416" of|strong="H1323" the|strong="H5921" field|strong="H7704" by|strong="H5921" night|strong="H3915".

12 And|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" went|strong="H3212" and|strong="H1121" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3947" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" Saul|strong="H7586" and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3947" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" Jonathan|strong="H3083" his|strong="H3947" son|strong="H1121" from|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3947" men|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Jabesh-gilead|strong="H3003", who|strong="H1121" had|strong="H1732" stolen|strong="H1589" them|strong="H5221" from|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3947" street|strong="H7339" of|strong="H1121" Beth-shan|strong="H1052", where|strong="H8033" the|strong="H3947" Philistines|strong="H6430" had|strong="H1732" hanged|strong="H8518" them|strong="H5221", in|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3947" day|strong="H3117" that|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3947" Philistines|strong="H6430" slew|strong="H5221" Saul|strong="H7586" in|strong="H3117" Gilboa|strong="H1533";
13 and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H8033" brought|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" from|strong="H5927" thence|strong="H8033" the|strong="H5927" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" Saul|strong="H7586" and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5927" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" Jonathan|strong="H3083" his|strong="H3083" son|strong="H1121": and|strong="H1121" they|strong="H8033" gathered the|strong="H5927" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" them|strong="H5927" that|strong="H1121" were|strong="H1121" hanged|strong="H3363".
14 And|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3651" buried|strong="H6912" the|strong="H3605" bones|strong="H6106" of|strong="H1121" Saul|strong="H7586" and|strong="H1121" Jonathan|strong="H3083" his|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" country of|strong="H1121" Benjamin|strong="H1144" in|strong="H6213" Zela|strong="H6762", in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" sepulcher of|strong="H1121" Kish|strong="H7027" his|strong="H3605" father|strong="H1121": and|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3651" performed|strong="H6213" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" commanded|strong="H6680".

15 And|strong="H3478" the|strong="H1961" Philistines|strong="H6430" had|strong="H1961" war|strong="H4421" again|strong="H5750" with|strong="H5973" Israel|strong="H3478"; and|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" went|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381", and|strong="H3478" his|strong="H1732" servants|strong="H5650" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5973", and|strong="H3478" fought|strong="H3898" against|strong="H5973" the|strong="H1961" Philistines|strong="H6430". And|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" waxed|strong="H1732" faint|strong="H5774";
16 and|strong="H3967" Ishbi-benob|strong="H3430", who|strong="H1931" was|strong="H1732" of|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" sons|strong="H3211" of|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" giant|strong="H7497", the|strong="H5221" weight|strong="H4948" of|strong="H5221" whose spear|strong="H7013" was|strong="H1732" three|strong="H7969" hundred|strong="H3967" shekels of|strong="H5221" brass|strong="H5178" in|strong="H1732" weight|strong="H4948", he|strong="H1931" being girded|strong="H2296" with|strong="H2296" a|strong="H3068" new|strong="H2319" sword, thought to|strong="H1732" have|strong="H1732" slain|strong="H5221" David|strong="H1732".
17 But|strong="H3808" Abishai the|strong="H5221" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Zeruiah|strong="H6870" succored him|strong="H5221", and|strong="H1121" smote|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" Philistine|strong="H6430", and|strong="H1121" killed|strong="H5221" him|strong="H5221". Then|strong="H3318" the|strong="H5221" men|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" sware|strong="H7650" unto|strong="H7650" him|strong="H5221", saying, Thou shalt go|strong="H3318" no|strong="H3808" more|strong="H5750" out|strong="H3318" with|strong="H3318" us|strong="H3478" to|strong="H3318" battle|strong="H4421", that|strong="H3478" thou quench|strong="H3518" not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5221" lamp|strong="H5216" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478".
18 And|strong="H6430" it|strong="H3651" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" pass|strong="H1961" after|strong="H1961" this|strong="H3651", that|strong="H3651" there|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" again|strong="H5750" war|strong="H4421" with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H5221" Philistines|strong="H6430" at|strong="H4421" Gob|strong="H1359": then|strong="H1961" Sibbecai|strong="H5444" the|strong="H5221" Hushathite|strong="H2843" slew|strong="H5221" Saph|strong="H5593", who|strong="H3211" was|strong="H1961" of|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" sons|strong="H3211" of|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" giant|strong="H7497".
