LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο λιμος εν ταις ημεραις δαυιδ τρια ετη ενιαυτος εχομενος ενιαυτου και εζητησεν δαυιδ το προσωπον του κυριου και ειπεν κυριος επι σαουλ και επι τον οικον αυτου αδικια δια το αυτον θανατω αιματων περι ου εθανατωσεν τους γαβαωνιτας	1 And a famine occurred, during the days of David, for three years continuously. And David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: “This is because of Saul, and his house of bloodshed. For he killed the Gibeonites.”
2 και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ τους γαβαωνιτας και ειπεν προς αυτους και οι γαβαωνιται ουχ υιοι ισραηλ εισιν οτι αλλ' η εκ του λειμματος του αμορραιου και οι υιοι ισραηλ ωμοσαν αυτοις και εζητησεν σαουλ παταξαι αυτους εν τω ζηλωσαι αυτον τους υιους ισραηλ και ιουδα	2 Therefore, the king, calling for the Gibeonites, spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but were the remnant of the Amorites. And the sons of Israel had sworn an oath to them, but Saul wished to strike them in zeal, as if on behalf of the sons of Israel and Judah.
3 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τους γαβαωνιτας τι ποιησω υμιν και εν τινι εξιλασομαι και ευλογησετε την κληρονομιαν κυριου	3 Therefore, David said to the Gibeonites: “What shall I do for you? And what shall be your satisfaction, so that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?”
4 και ειπαν αυτω οι γαβαωνιται ουκ εστιν ημιν αργυριον και χρυσιον μετα σαουλ και μετα του οικου αυτου και ουκ εστιν ημιν ανηρ θανατωσαι εν ισραηλ και ειπεν τι υμεις λεγετε και ποιησω υμιν	4 And the Gibeonites said to him: “There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.” The king said to them, “Then what do you wish that I should do for you?”
5 και ειπαν προς τον βασιλεα ο ανηρ συνετελεσεν εφ' ημας και εδιωξεν ημας ος παρελογισατο εξολεθρευσαι ημας αφανισωμεν αυτον του μη εσταναι αυτον εν παντι οριω ισραηλ	5 And they said to the king: “The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.
6 δοτω ημιν επτα ανδρας εκ των υιων αυτου και εξηλιασωμεν αυτους τω κυριω εν γαβαων σαουλ εκλεκτους κυριου και ειπεν ο βασιλευς εγω δωσω	6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
7 και εφεισατο ο βασιλευς επι μεμφιβοσθε υιον ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ δια τον ορκον κυριου τον ανα μεσον αυτων ανα μεσον δαυιδ και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ	7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
8 και ελαβεν ο βασιλευς τους δυο υιους ρεσφα θυγατρος αια ους ετεκεν τω σαουλ τον ερμωνι και τον μεμφιβοσθε και τους πεντε υιους μιχολ θυγατρος σαουλ ους ετεκεν τω εσριηλ υιω βερζελλι τω μοουλαθι	8 And so the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she conceived of Adriel, the son of Barzillai, who was from Meholath,
9 και εδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι των γαβαωνιτων και εξηλιασαν αυτους εν τω ορει εναντι κυριου και επεσαν οι επτα αυτοι επι το αυτο και αυτοι δε εθανατωθησαν εν ημεραις θερισμου εν πρωτοις εν αρχη θερισμου κριθων	9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they crucified them on a hill in the sight of the Lord. And these seven fell together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley is beginning to be reaped.
10 και ελαβεν ρεσφα θυγατηρ αια τον σακκον και επηξεν αυτη προς την πετραν εν αρχη θερισμου κριθων εως εσταξεν επ' αυτους υδωρ εκ του ουρανου και ουκ εδωκεν τα πετεινα του ουρανου καταπαυσαι επ' αυτους ημερας και τα θηρια του αγρου νυκτος	10 Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, taking a haircloth, spread it under herself on a rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped from heaven upon them. And she did not permit the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
11 και απηγγελη τω δαυιδ οσα εποιησεν ρεσφα θυγατηρ αια παλλακη σαουλ και εξελυθησαν και κατελαβεν αυτους δαν υιος ιωα εκ των απογονων των γιγαντων	11 And it was reported to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 και επορευθη δαυιδ και ελαβεν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου παρα των ανδρων υιων ιαβις γαλααδ οι εκλεψαν αυτους εκ της πλατειας βαιθσαν οτι εστησαν αυτους εκει οι αλλοφυλοι εν ημερα η επαταξαν οι αλλοφυλοι τον σαουλ εν γελβουε	12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had suspended them after they had slain Saul at Gilboa.
13 και ανηνεγκεν εκειθεν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και συνηγαγεν τα οστα των εξηλιασμενων	13 And he brought the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from there. And they collected the bones of those who had been crucified.
14 και εθαψαν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και των ηλιασθεντων εν γη βενιαμιν εν τη πλευρα εν τω ταφω κις του πατρος αυτου και εποιησαν παντα οσα ενετειλατο ο βασιλευς και επηκουσεν ο θεος τη γη μετα ταυτα	14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan, in the land of Benjamin, to the side of the sepulcher of his father Kish. And they did all that the king had instructed. And after these things, God showed favor again to the land.
15 και εγενηθη ετι πολεμος τοις αλλοφυλοις μετα ισραηλ και κατεβη δαυιδ και οι παιδες αυτου μετ' αυτου και επολεμησαν μετα των αλλοφυλων και εξελυθη δαυιδ	15 Then the Philistines again undertook a battle against Israel. And David descended, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines. But when David grew faint,
16 και ιεσβι ος ην εν τοις εκγονοις του ραφα και ο σταθμος του δορατος αυτου τριακοσιων σικλων ολκη χαλκου και αυτος περιεζωσμενος κορυνην και διενοειτο παταξαι τον δαυιδ	16 Ishbibenob, who was of the ancestry of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, who had been girded with a new sword, strove to strike down David.
17 και εβοηθησεν αυτω αβεσσα υιος σαρουιας και επαταξεν τον αλλοφυλον και εθανατωσεν αυτον τοτε ωμοσαν οι ανδρες δαυιδ λεγοντες ουκ εξελευση ετι μεθ' ημων εις πολεμον και ου μη σβεσης τον λυχνον ισραηλ	17 And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, defended him, and striking the Philistine, he killed him. Then David’s men swore an oath to him, saying, “You shall no longer go out to war with us, lest you extinguish the lamp of Israel.”
18 και εγενηθη μετα ταυτα ετι πολεμος εν γεθ μετα των αλλοφυλων τοτε επαταξεν σεβοχα ο αστατωθι τον σεφ τον εν τοις εκγονοις του ραφα	18 Also, a second war occurred in Gob against the Philistines. Then Sibbecai from Hushah struck down Saph, from the stock of Arapha, of the ancestry of the giants.
19 και εγενετο ο πολεμος εν γοβ μετα των αλλοφυλων και επαταξεν ελεαναν υιος αριωργιμ ο βαιθλεεμιτης τον γολιαθ τον γεθθαιον και το ξυλον του δορατος αυτου ως αντιον υφαινοντων	19 Then there was a third war in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a weaver from Bethlehem, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam used by a cloth maker.
20 και εγενετο ετι πολεμος εν γεθ και ην ανηρ μαδων και οι δακτυλοι των χειρων αυτου και οι δακτυλοι των ποδων αυτου εξ και εξ εικοσι τεσσαρες αριθμω και γε αυτος ετεχθη τω ραφα	20 A fourth battle was in Gath. In that place, there was a lofty man, who had six digits on each hand and each foot, that is, twenty-four in all, and he was from the origins of Arapha.
21 και ωνειδισεν τον ισραηλ και επαταξεν αυτον ιωναθαν υιος σεμει αδελφου δαυιδ	21 And he blasphemed Israel. So Jonathan, the son of Shimei, the brother of David, struck him down.
22 οι τεσσαρες ουτοι ετεχθησαν απογονοι των γιγαντων εν γεθ τω ραφα οικος και επεσαν εν χειρι δαυιδ και εν χειρι των δουλων αυτου	22 These four men were born of Arapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and his servants.
