updv@2Samuel:21:3 @ and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you(note:){+}(:note)? And how shall I make atonement, that you{+} may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?

updv@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What you(note:){+}(:note) will say, that I will do for you{+}.

updv@2Samuel:21:5 @ And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,

updv@2Samuel:21:9 @ And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Yahweh, and they fell [all] seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
