2 Samuel 21:1-9

Then there was a famine
<07458>
in the days
<03117>
of David
<01732>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
year
<08141>
after
<0310>
year
<08141>_;
and David
<01732>
enquired
<01245> (8762)
of
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] for Saul
<07586>_,
and for [his] bloody
<01818>
house
<01004>_,
because he slew
<04191> (8689)
the Gibeonites
<01393>_.
{enquired...: Heb. sought the face, etc}
And the king
<04428>
called
<07121> (8799)
the Gibeonites
<01393>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them; (now the Gibeonites
<01393>
[were] not of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
but of the remnant
<03499>
of the Amorites
<0567>_;
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
had sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto them: and Saul
<07586>
sought
<01245> (8762)
to slay
<05221> (8687)
them in his zeal
<07065> (8763)
to the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>.)
Wherefore David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the Gibeonites
<01393>_,
What shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement
<03722> (8762)_,
that ye may bless
<01288> (8761)
the inheritance
<05159>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
And the Gibeonites
<01393>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We will have no silver
<03701>
nor gold
<02091>
of
<05973>
Saul
<07586>_,
nor of his house
<01004>_;
neither for us shalt thou kill
<04191> (8687)
any man
<0376>
in Israel
<03478>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What ye shall say
<0559> (8802)_,
[that] will I do
<06213> (8799)
for you. {We will...: or, It is not silver nor gold that we have to do with Saul or his house, neither pertains it to us to kill, etc}
And they answered
<0559> (8799)
the king
<04428>_,
The man
<0376>
that consumed
<03615> (8765)
us, and that devised
<01819> (8765)
against us [that] we should be destroyed
<08045> (8738)
from remaining
<03320> (8692)
in any of the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_,
{devised...: or, cut us off}
Let seven
<07651>
men
<0582>
of his sons
<01121>
be delivered
<05414> (8714)
unto us, and we will hang them up
<03363> (8689)
unto the LORD
<03068>
in Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>_,
[whom] the LORD
<03068>
did choose
<0972>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will give
<05414> (8799)
[them]. {whom...: or, chosen of the LORD}
But the king
<04428>
spared
<02550> (8799)
Mephibosheth
<04648>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jonathan
<03083>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
because of the LORD'S
<03068>
oath
<07621>
that [was] between them, between David
<01732>
and Jonathan
<03083>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_.
But the king
<04428>
took
<03947> (8799)
the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Rizpah
<07532>
the daughter
<01323>
of Aiah
<0345>_,
whom she bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Armoni
<0764>
and Mephibosheth
<04648>_;
and the five
<02568>
sons
<01121>
of Michal
<04324>
the daughter
<01323>
of Saul
<07586>_,
whom she brought up
<03205> (8804)
for Adriel
<05741>
the son
<01121>
of Barzillai
<01271>
the Meholathite
<04259>_:
{Michal: or, Michal's sister} {brought...: Heb. bear to Adriel}
And he delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hands
<03027>
of the Gibeonites
<01393>_,
and they hanged
<03363> (8686)
them in the hill
<02022>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and they fell
<05307> (8799)
[all] seven
<07651> (8675) <07659>
together
<03162>_,
and were put to death
<04191> (8717)
in the days
<03117>
of harvest
<07105>_,
in the first
<07223>
[days], in the beginning
<08462>
of barley
<08184>
harvest
<07105>_.
