2 Samuel 21:2-9
2And the kingH4428 calledH7121 the GibeonitesH1393, and saidH559 to them; (now the GibeonitesH1393 were not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, but of the remnantH3499 of the AmoritesH567; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had swornH7650 to them: and SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to slayH5221 them in his zealH7065 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.) 3Therefore DavidH1732 saidH559 to the GibeonitesH1393, What shall I doH6213 for you? and how shall I make the atonementH3722, that ye may blessH1288 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068? 4And the GibeonitesH1393 saidH559 to him, We will have no silverH3701 nor goldH2091 ofH5973 SaulH7586, nor of his houseH1004; neither for us shalt thou killH4191 any manH376 in IsraelH3478. And he saidH559, What ye shall sayH559, that will I doH6213 for you.1 5And they answeredH559 the kingH4428, The manH376 that consumedH3615 us, and that devisedH1819 against us that we should be destroyedH8045 from remainingH3320 within any borderH1366 of IsraelH3478,2 6Let sevenH7651 menH582 of his sonsH1121 be deliveredH5414 to us, and we will hang them upH3363 to the LORDH3068 in GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586, whom the LORDH3068 choseH972. And the kingH4428 saidH559, I will giveH5414 them .3 7But the kingH4428 sparedH2550 MephiboshethH4648, the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, because of the LORD’SH3068 oathH7621 that was between them, between DavidH1732 and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586. 8But the kingH4428 tookH3947 the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of RizpahH7532 the daughterH1323 of AiahH345, whom she boreH3205 to SaulH7586, ArmoniH764 and MephiboshethH4648; and the fiveH2568 sonsH1121 of MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586, whom she brought upH3205 for AdrielH5741 the sonH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the MeholathiteH4259:45 9And he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of the GibeonitesH1393, and they hangedH3363 them on the hillH2022 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they fellH5307 all sevenH7651H7659 togetherH3162, and were put to deathH4191 in the daysH3117 of harvestH7105, in the firstH7223 days, in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
