2 Samuel 21:4-6
Names of God Bible
4 “We do not want silver or gold from Saul’s family,” the Gibeonites answered him. “And none of us wants to kill anyone in Israel.”
The king asked, “What are you saying that I should do for you?”
5 They answered the king, “Give us seven of the male descendants of the man who wanted to finish us off. He planned to wipe us out to keep us from staying anywhere in Israel’s territory. 6 We will execute them in Yahweh’s presence at Saul’s town Gibeah.” (It was Saul whom Yahweh had chosen.)
“I will give them to you,” the king said.

2 Samuel 21:4-6
New International Version
4 The Gibeonites answered him, “We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death.”(A)
“What do you want me to do for you?” David asked.
5 They answered the king, “As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel, 6 let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and their bodies exposed(B) before the Lord at Gibeah of Saul—the Lord’s chosen(C) one.”
So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
