*
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 .
*
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took 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 .
