2 Samuel 21:12-22
12And DavidH1732 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 from the menH1167 of Jabesh–gileadH1568H3003, which had stolenH1589 them from the streetH7339 of Beth–shanH1052, where the PhilistinesH6430 had hangedH8518H8511 them, whenH3117 the PhilistinesH6430 had slainH5221 SaulH7586 in GilboaH1533: 13And he brought upH5927 from thence the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and the bonesH6106 of JonathanH3083 his sonH1121; and they gatheredH622 the bonesH6106 of them that were hangedH3363. 14And the bonesH6106 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 his sonH1121 buriedH6912 they in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144 in ZelahH6762, in the sepulchreH6913 of KishH7027 his fatherH1: and they performedH6213 all that the kingH4428 commandedH6680. And afterH310 that GodH430 was intreatedH6279 for the landH776.
15Moreover the PhilistinesH6430 had yet warH4421 again with IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 went downH3381, and his servantsH5650 with him, and foughtH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430: and DavidH1732 waxed faintH5774. 16And Ishbi–benobH3430, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 weighed threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of brassH5178 in weightH4948, he being girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, thoughtH559 to have slainH5221 DavidH1732.12 17But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 succouredH5826 him, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and killedH4191 him. Then the menH582 of DavidH1732 swareH7650 unto him, sayingH559, Thou shalt goH3318 no more out with us to battleH4421, that thou quenchH3518 not the lightH5216 of IsraelH3478.3 18And it came to pass after thisH310, that there was again a battleH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430 at GobH1359: then SibbechaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slewH5221 SaphH5593, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497.45 19And there was again a battleH4421 in GobH1359 with the PhilistinesH6430, where ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of Jaare–oregimH3296, a Beth–lehemiteH1022, slewH5221 the brother of GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, the staffH6086 of whose spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500.6 20And there was yet a battleH4421 in GathH1661, where was a manH376 of great statureH4055H4067, that had on every handH3027 sixH8337 fingersH676, and on every footH7272 sixH8337 toesH676, fourH702 and twentyH6242 in numberH4557; and he also was bornH3205 to the giantH7497.7 21And when he defiedH2778 IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092 the brotherH251 of DavidH1732 slewH5221 him.89 22These fourH702 were bornH3205 to the giantH7497 in GathH1661, and fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.
