2 Samuel 21:3-6
English Standard Version
3 And David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And how shall I make atonement, that you may bless (A)the heritage of the Lord?” 4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is not a 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 do you say that I shall do for you?” 5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and planned to destroy us, so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel, 6 let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them before the Lord at (B)Gibeah of Saul, (C)the chosen of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”

2 Samuel 21:3-6
New King James Version
3 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless (A)the inheritance of the Lord?”
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us.”
So he said, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
5 Then they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel, 6 let seven men of his descendants be delivered (B)to us, and we will hang them before the Lord (C)in Gibeah of Saul, (D)whom the Lord chose.”
And the king said, “I will give them.”
