*
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 .
*
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 coasts of Israel ,
*
Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us ,
and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul ,
whom the LORD did choose .
And the king said ,
I will give them .
*
But the king spared Mephibosheth ,
the son of Jonathan the son of Saul ,
because of the LORD '
S oath that was between them ,
between David and Jonathan the son of Saul .
*
But the king took the two sons of 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 :
*
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 .
