8So the kingH4428 tookH3947 the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of 1RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345, ArmoniH764 and MephiboshethH4648 whomH834 she had borneH3205 to SaulH7586, and the fiveH2568 sonsH1121 of 23MerabH4764 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586, whomH834 she had borneH3205 to AdrielH5741 the sonH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the 4MeholathiteH4259. 9Then he handedH5414H3027 them over to the GibeonitesH1393, and they 5hangedH3363 them on the mountainH2022 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, so that the sevenH7651 of them fellH5307 togetherH3162; and they were putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 in the firstH7223 daysH3117 of harvestH7105 at 6the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
107And RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345 tookH3947 sackclothH8242 and spreadH5186 it outH5186 for herself on the rockH6697, from the beginningH8462 of harvestH7105 untilH5704 8it rainedH5413 on them from the skyH8064; and 9she 10allowedH5414 neitherH3808 the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 to restH5117 on them by dayH3119 norH3808 the wildH7704 animalsH2421 by nightH3915. 11When it was reportedH5046 to DavidH1732 whatH834 RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345, the concubineH6370 of SaulH7586, had doneH6213, 12then DavidH1732 wentH1980 and tookH3947 11the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 from the citizensH1167 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568, whoH834 had stolenH1589 them from the publicH7339 squareH7339 of 12Beth-shanH1052, 13whereH834H8033 the PhilistinesH6430 had hangedH8518 them on the dayH3117 14the PhilistinesH6430 struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 SaulH7586 in GilboaH1533. 13He broughtH5927 upH5927 from thereH8033 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of his sonH1121 JonathanH3083, and they gatheredH622 the bonesH6106 of those who had been 15hangedH3363. 14Then they buriedH6912 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and his sonH1121 JonathanH3083 in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144 in 16ZelaH6762, in the graveH6913 of his fatherH1 KishH7027; So they didH6213 everythingH3605 that the kingH4428 commandedH6680, and afterH310 that 17GodH430 respondedH6279 toH6279 prayerH6279 for the landH776.
