2 Samuel 21
Then
there
was
a
famine
in
the
days
of
David
three
years,
year
after
year;
and
David
inquired
of
the
Lord.
And
the
Lord
answered,
It
is
for
Saul,
and
for
his
bloody
house,
because
he
slew
the
Gibeonites.
2 And
the
king
called
the
Gibeonites,
and
said
unto
them;
(now
the
a
Gibeonites
were
not
of
the
children
of
Israel,
but
of
the
remnant
of
the
Amorites;
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
sworn
unto
them:
and
Saul
sought
to
slay
them
in
his
zeal
to
the
children
of
Israel
and
Judah.)
3 Wherefore
David
said
unto
the
Gibeonites,
What
shall
I
do
for
you?
and
wherewith
shall
I
make
the
atonement,
that
ye
may
bless
the
inheritance
of
the
Lord?
4 And
the
Gibeonites
said
unto
him,
We
will
have
no
silver
nor
gold
of
Saul,
nor
of
his
house;
neither
for
us
shalt
thou
kill
any
man
in
Israel.
And
he
said,
What
ye
shall
say,
that
will
I
do
for
you.
5 And
they
answered
the
king,
The
man
that
consumed
us,
and
that
devised
against
us
that
we
should
be
destroyed
from
remaining
in
any
of
the
a
coasts
of
Israel,
6 Let
seven
men
of
his
a
sons
be
delivered
unto
us,
and
we
will
hang
them
up
unto
the
Lord
in
b
Gibeah
of
Saul,
whom
the
Lord
did
choose.
And
the
king
said,
I
will
give
them.
7 But
the
king
spared
Mephibosheth,
the
son
of
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul,
because
of
the
Lord's
a
oath
that
was
between
them,
between
David
and
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul.
8 But
the
king
took
the
two
sons
of
a
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah,
whom
she
bare
unto
Saul,
Armoni
and
Mephibosheth;
and
the
five
sons
of
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul,
whom
she
brought
up
for
Adriel
the
son
of
Barzillai
the
Meholathite:
9 And
he
delivered
them
into
the
hands
of
the
Gibeonites,
and
they
hanged
them
in
the
hill
before
the
Lord:
and
they
fell
all
seven
together,
and
were
put
to
death
in
the
days
of
harvest,
in
the
first
days,
in
the
beginning
of
barley
harvest.
10 And
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah
took
a
sackcloth,
and
spread
it
for
her
upon
the
rock,
from
the
beginning
of
harvest
until
water
dropped
upon
them
out
of
heaven,
and
suffered
neither
the
birds
of
the
air
to
rest
on
them
by
day,
nor
the
beasts
of
the
field
by
night.
11 And
it
was
told
David
what
Rizpah
the
daughter
of
Aiah,
the
concubine
of
Saul,
had
done.
