2 Samuel 21:1-5

1And there was a famineH7458 in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 threeH7969 yearsH8141, yearH8141 afterH310 yearH8141; and DavidH1732 soughtH1245 the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068. And the LORDH3068 saidH559, It is for SaulH7586, and for his bloodyH1818 houseH1004, becauseH5921 he putH4191 to deathH4191 the GibeonitesH1393.

2And the kingH4428 calledH7121 the GibeonitesH1393, and saidH559 unto them; (nowH3588 the GibeonitesH1393 were notH3808 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, but of the remnant of the AmoritesH567; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650 unto them: and SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to slayH5221 them in his zealH7065 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063:)

3and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the GibeonitesH1393, WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 for youH6213? and wherewith shall I makeH6213 atonementH3722, that ye may blessH1288 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?

4And the GibeonitesH1393 saidH559 unto him, It is noH369 matter of silverH3701 or goldH2091 betweenH5973 usH559 and SaulH7586, or his houseH1004; neitherH369 is it for usH559 to putH4191 anyH376 manH376 to deathH4191 in IsraelH3478. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 ye shall sayH559, that will I doH6213 for youH859.

5And they saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The manH376 that consumedH3615 usH413, and that devised againstH413 usH413, that weH834 should be destroyedH8045 from remainingH3320 in anyH3605 of the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478,
