| 21:1 | Καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Δαυεὶδ τρία ἔτη, ἐνιαυτὸς ἐχόμενος ἐνιαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτησεν Δαυεὶδ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ κυρίου· καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος Ἐπὶ Σαοὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀδικία διὰ πὸ αὐτὸν θανάτῳ αἰμάτων, περὶ οὖ ἐθανάτωσεν τοῦς Γαβαωνείτας. |
| 21:2 | καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιεὺς Δαυεὶδ τοῦς Γαβαωνείτας καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· καὶ οἱ Γαβαωνεῖται οὐχ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ εεἰσιν, ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἣ ἐκ τοῦ αἴματος τοῦ Ἀμορραίου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἱσραὴλ ὤωοσαν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐζήτησεν Σαοὺλ πατάξαι αὐτοὸς ἐν τῷ ξηλῶσαι αὐτὸν τοὺς υίοὺς Ἰσραήλ καὶ Ἰούδα· |
| 21:3 | καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς τοῦς Γαβαωνείτας Τί ποιήσω ὑμῖν καὶ ἐν τίνι ἐξιλάσωμαι, καὶ εὐλογήσετε τὴν κληρονομίαν Κυρίου; |
| 21:4 | καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ Γαβαωνεῖται Οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον μετὰ Σαοὶλ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοὺ, καὶ οἰκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀνὴρ θαντῶσαι ἐν Ἰσραήλ. καὶ εἶπεν Τί ὑμεῖς λέγετε καὶ ποιήσω ὑμῖν; |
| 21:5 | καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ὁ ἀνὴρ συνετέλεσεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐδίωξεν ἡμᾶς, ὃς παρελογίσατο ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἠμᾶς· ἀφανίσωμεν αὐτὸν τοῦ μὴ ἐστάναι αὐτὸν ἐν παυτὶ ἐρίῳ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 21:6 | δότω ἡμῖν ἐπτὰ ἄνδρας ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξηλιάσωμεν αὐτοὸς τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν Γαβαὼν Σαοὺλ ἐκλεκτοὺς Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐγὼ δώσω. |
| 21:7 | καὶ ἐφείσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ Μεμφιβόσθε υἱὸν Ἰωναθὰν υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον κυρίου τὸν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἀνὰ μ΄σον Ἰωυαθὰν υἱοῦ Σαούλ |
| 21:8 | καὶ ἔκαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦς δύο υἱοῦς ‘Ρεσφὰ θυγατρὸς Αἰὰ οὕς ἔτεκεν τῷ Σαούλ, τὸν Ἐρμωνοεὶ καὶ τὸν τὸν Μεμφιβόσθε, καὶ τοὺς πέντε υίοὺς Μιχὸλ θυγατρὸς Σαοὺλ οὓς ἔτεκεν τῷ Σερεὶ υἱῷ Βερζελλεὶ τῷ Μωουλαθεί, |
| 21:9 | καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτούς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν Γαβαωνειτῶν· καὶ ἐξηλίασαν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἔπεσαν οἱ ἐπτὰ αὐτοὶ ἑπὶ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐθανατώθησαν ἐν ἡμέεραις θερισμοῦ ἐν πρώτοις, ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθὼν. |
| 21:10 | καὶ ἔλαβεν ῥεσφὰ θυγάτηρ Αἰὰ τὸν σάκκον καὶ ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν ἔως ἔσταξεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδωκεν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταπαῦσαι ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ νυκτός. |
| 21:11 | καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυεὶδ ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ῥεσφὰ θυγάτηρ Αἰὰ παλλακὴ Σαούλ· καὶ ἐξελύθησαν, καὶ κατέλαβεν αὐτοὺς Δὰν υἱὸς Ἰωὰ ἐκ τῶν ἀπολλόνων τῶν γιγάντων. |
| 21:12 | καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ Ἰωναθὰν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ παρὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν υἱῶν Ἰαβεὶς Γαλαάδ, οἳ ἔκλεψαν αὐτοῦς ἐκ τῆς πλατείας Βαίθ, ὅτι ἔστησαν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπάταξαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐν Γελβοῦε. |
| 21:13 | καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ Ἰωναθὰν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνήγαγεν τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἐξηλιασμένων. |
| 21:14 | καὶ ἔθαψαν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ Ἰωναθὰν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν ἡλιασθέντων τῶν ἐν γῇ Βενιαμεὶν ἐν τῇ πλευρᾷ ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Κεὶς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησαν πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ θεὸς τῇ γῇ μετὰ ταῦτα. |
| 21:15 | Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔτι πόλεμος τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις μετὰ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ κατέβη Δαυεὶδ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυείδ. |
| 21:16 | καὶ Ἰεσβὶ ὃς ἦν ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ῥαφά, καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ τριακοσίων σίκλων ὁλκῇ χαλκοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς περιεζωσμένος κορύνην, καὶ διενοεῖτο πατάξαι τὸν Δαυείδ. |
| 21:17 | καὶ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτῷ Ἀβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουίας, καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν ἀλλόφυλον καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν· τότε ὤμοσαν οἱ ἄνδρες Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἔτι μεθ’ ἡμῶν εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ οὐ μὴ σβέσῃς τὸν λύχνον Ἰσραήλ. |
| 21:18 | Καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γὲθ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· τότε ἐπάταξεν Ὀεβοχὰ ὁ Ἁστατωθεὶ τὸν Σὲφ τὸν ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ῥαφά. |
| 21:19 | καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν Ῥὸμ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Ἀριωργεὶμ ὁ βαιθλεεμμείτης τὸν Γοδολίαν τὸν Χετταῖον, καὶ τὸ ξύλον τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων. |
| 21:20 | καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γέθ· καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ Μαδών. καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶμ ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἓξ καὶ ἕξ, εἴκοσι τέσσαρες ἀριθμῷ· καί γε αὐτὸς ἐτέχθη τῷ Ῥαφά. |
| 21:21 | καὶ ὠνείδισεν τὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰωναθὰν υἱὸς Σεμεεὶ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυείδ. |
| 21:22 | οἱ τέσσαρες οὗτοι ἐτέχθησαν ἀπόγονοι τῶν γιγάντων ἐν Γὲθ τῷ Ῥαφὰ οἶκος, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
