2 Samuel 21:1-4

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}
