1 H7458 Then there was a famine H3117 in the days H1732 of David H7969 three H8141 years H8141 , year H310 after H8141 year H1732 ; and David H1245 enquired [H8762] H6440 of H3068 the LORD H3068 . And the LORD H559 answered [H8799] H7586 , It is for Saul H1818 , and for his bloody H1004 house H4191 , because he slew [H8689] H1393 the Gibeonites.

2 H4428 And the king H7121 called [H8799] H1393 the Gibeonites H559 , and said [H8799] H1393 unto them; (now the Gibeonites H1121 were not of the children H3478 of Israel H3499 , but of the remnant H567 of the Amorites H1121 ; and the children H3478 of Israel H7650 had sworn [H8738] H7586 unto them: and Saul H1245 sought [H8762] H5221 to slay [H8687] H7065 them in his zeal [H8763] H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel H3063 and Judah.)

3 H1732 Wherefore David H559 said [H8799] H1393 unto the Gibeonites H6213 , What shall I do [H8799] H3722 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement [H8762] H1288 , that ye may bless [H8761] H5159 the inheritance H3068 of the LORD?

4 H1393 And the Gibeonites H559 said [H8799] H3701 unto him, We will have no silver H2091 nor gold H5973 of H7586 Saul H1004 , nor of his house H4191 ; neither for us shalt thou kill [H8687] H376 any man H3478 in Israel H559 . And he said [H8799] H559 , What ye shall say [H8802] H6213 , that will I do [H8799] for you.

5 H559 And they answered [H8799] H4428 the king H376 , The man H3615 that consumed [H8765] H1819 us, and that devised [H8765] H8045 against us that we should be destroyed [H8738] H3320 from remaining [H8692] H1366 in any of the coasts H3478 of Israel,

6 H7651 Let seven H582 men H1121 of his sons H5414 be delivered [H8714] H3363 unto us, and we will hang them up [H8689] H3068 unto the LORD H1390 in Gibeah H7586 of Saul H3068 , whom the LORD H972 did choose H4428 . And the king H559 said [H8799] H5414 , I will give [H8799] them .

7 H4428 But the king H2550 spared [H8799] H4648 Mephibosheth H1121 , the son H3083 of Jonathan H1121 the son H7586 of Saul H3068 , because of the LORD'S H7621 oath H1732 that was between them, between David H3083 and Jonathan H1121 the son H7586 of Saul.

8 H4428 But the king H3947 took [H8799] H8147 the two H1121 sons H7532 of Rizpah H1323 the daughter H345 of Aiah H3205 , whom she bare [H8804] H7586 unto Saul H764 , Armoni H4648 and Mephibosheth H2568 ; and the five H1121 sons H4324 of Michal H1323 the daughter H7586 of Saul H3205 , whom she brought up [H8804] H5741 for Adriel H1121 the son H1271 of Barzillai H4259 the Meholathite:

9 H5414 And he delivered [H8799] H3027 them into the hands H1393 of the Gibeonites H3363 , and they hanged [H8686] H2022 them in the hill H6440 before H3068 the LORD H5307 : and they fell [H8799] H7651 all seven [H8675] H7659 H3162 together H4191 , and were put to death [H8717] H3117 in the days H7105 of harvest H7223 , in the first H8462 days, in the beginning H8184 of barley H7105 harvest.
