2 Samuel 21:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not from the Israelites;[a] they were from the remainder of the Amorites. Now the Israelites[b] had sworn to them,[c] but Saul tried to wipe them out in his zeal for the Israelites[d] and Judah. 3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What can I do for you, and with what can I make amends that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?” 4 Then the Gibeonites said to him, “It is not a matter for us of[e] silver or gold with Saul or with his household. It is not for us to put to death anyone in Israel.” He asked, “What are you saying that I should do for you all?”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
2 原來基遍人不是以色列人，而是亞摩利人中餘剩的後人。以色列人曾經起誓與他們立約，但掃羅卻為以色列人和猶大人發熱心，設法要擊殺他們。王把基遍人召了來，對他們說話。 3 大衛問基遍人：“我能為你們作甚麼？我該用甚麼來贖罪，使你們為耶和華的產業祝福呢？” 4 基遍人回答大衛：“我們與掃羅和他家的事，都與金子銀子沒有關係；我們也不願以色列中有一個人被殺。”大衛問：“那麼，你們說，我當為你們作甚麼？”

King James Version
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
