2 Samuel 21:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² So the king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.

(The Gibeonites were not related to the people of Israel, but they were a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had given them a sworn promise, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.)

³ David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How will I make atonement^[a] to you so you will bless the heritage of the Lord?”

⁴ The Gibeonites said to him, “The issue between us and Saul and his house cannot be settled with silver and gold. Nor is it up to us to put anyone in Israel to death.”

So David said, “Well then, what are you saying I should do for you?”
