2 Samuel 21:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites. They were a group of Amorites who were left alive. The Israelites had promised not to hurt the Gibeonites. But Saul was very eager to help the people of Israel and Judah. So he tried to kill all the Gibeonites.)

King David called the Gibeonites together and talked to them. ³ He asked them, “What can I do for you? What can I do to take away Israel’s sin so you can bless the Lord’s people?”

⁴ The Gibeonites said to David, “Saul and his family don’t have enough silver and gold to pay for what they did! And we don’t have the right to kill anyone in Israel.”

Then David asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
