* Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites Gib #oniy #, What shall I do for you ? and wherewith shall I make the atonement , that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD ? * And the Gibeonites said unto him , We will have no silver nor gold of Saul Sha #uwl #, nor of his house ; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel Yisra #el #. 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 Yisra #el #, * Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us , and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul Sha #uwl #, 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 Sha #uwl #, because of the LORDS oath that was between them , between David and Jonathan the son of Saul Sha #uwl #. * But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah , whom she bare unto Saul Sha #uwl #, Armoni and Mephibosheth ; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul Sha #uwl #, whom she brought up for Adriel #Adriy #el # the son of Barzillai the Meholathite : * And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites Gib #oniy #, 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 . * And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah , the concubine of Saul Sha #uwl #, had done . * And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead Yabesh # Gil #ad #, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan Beyth Sh @#an #, where the Philistines had hanged (8675 ) them , when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa : * And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son ; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged . * And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah , in the sepulchre of Kish his father : and they performed all that the king commanded . And after that God was intreated for the land .
