1 I bi glad za vremena Davidovog tri godine zaredom. I David potraži lice Gospodnje; a Gospod mu reče: To je sa Saula i s doma njegovog krvničkog, što pogubi Gavaonjane. 2 Tada car sazva Gavaonjane i govori im. A Gavaonjani ne behu od sinova Izrailjevih, nego ostatak od Amoreja, kojima se behu zakleli sinovi Izrailjevi, ali Saul gledaše da ih pobije revnujući za sinove Izrailjeve i Judine. 3 I reče David Gavaonjanima: Šta da vam učinim i čim da vas namirim, da blagoslovite dostojanje Gospodnje? 4 A Gavaonjani mu rekoše: Ne tražimo ni srebro ni zlato od Saula ili od doma njegovog, niti da se ko pogubi u Izrailju. A on reče: Šta dakle velite da vam učinim? 5 Tada rekoše caru: Ko nas je potro i radio da nas istrebi, da nas ne bude nigde u međama Izrailjevim, 6 od njegovih sinova neka nam se da sedam ljudi da ih obesimo Gospodu u Gavaji Saula izabranika Gospodnjeg. I reče car: Ja ću dati. 7 Ali car poštede Mefivosteja sina Jonatana sina Saulovog radi zakletve Gospodnje, koja bi među njima, među Davidom i Jonatanom sinom Saulovim. 8 I uze car dva sina Resfe, kćeri Ajine, koje rodi Saulu, Armonija i Mefivosteja, i pet sinova Mihale kćeri Saulove, koje rodi Adrilu sinu Varzelaja Meolaćanina. 9 I dade ih u ruke Gavaonjanima, a oni ih obesiše na gori pred Gospodom; i sva sedmorica pogiboše zajedno; a biše ubijeni prvih dana žetve, u početku ječmene žetve. 10 A Resfa kći Ajina uze vreću, i prostre po steni u početku žetve dokle ne pade na njih dažd sa neba, i ne dade pticama nebeskim da padaju na njih danju ni zverima poljskim noću. 11 I javiše Davidu šta učini Resfa kći Ajina, inoča Saulova. 12 I David otide te uze kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatana sina njegovog od građana u Javisu Galadovom, koji ih behu ukrali s ulice vet-sanske, gde ih obesiše Filisteji kad ubiše Filisteji Saula na Gelvuji. 13 I odnese odande kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatana sina njegovog, pa skupiše i kosti obešenih. 14 I pogreboše ih s kostima Saulovim i Jonatana sina njegovog u zemlji Venijaminovoj u Sili, u grobu Kisa oca njegovog, i učiniše sve kako zapovedi car. Tako se posle toga umilostivi Gospod zemlji. 15 I nasta opet rat između Filisteja i Izrailja, i David otide sa slugama svojim, i tukoše se s Filistejima tako da David susta. 16 Tada Jesvi-Venov, koji beše od sinova Rafajevih, i u koplju mu beše trista sikala bronze, i imaše novo oružje, htede da ubije Davida. 17 Ali mu pomože Avisaj, sin Serujin, i udari Filistejina i ubi ga. Tada se zakleše ljudi Davidovi rekavši mu: Nećeš više ići s nama u boj da ne ugasiš videlo Izrailjevo. 18 Posle toga nasta opet rat s Filistejima u Govu; i tada Sivehaj Husaćanin ubi Safa, koji beše od sinova Rafajevih. 19 I opet nasta drugi rat u Govu s Filistejima; i tada Elhanan, sin Jare-Oregimov Vitlejemac, ubi brata Golijata Getejina, kome kopljača beše kao vratilo. 20 I opet nasta rat u Gatu, gde beše jedan čovek vrlo visok, koji imaše po šest prsta na rukama i na nogama, svega dvadeset i četiri, i on beše takođe roda Rafajevog. 21 I ružaše Izrailja te ga ubi Jonatan, sin Same, brata Davidovog. 22 Ta četvorica behu sinovi istog Rafaja iz Gata, i pogiboše od ruke Davidove i od ruke sluga njegovih.
