2 Samuel 21:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ The Gibeonites said to him, “We don’t want any silver or gold from Saul or his family, and it isn’t our right to have anyone in Israel killed.”

“What do you want?”^[a] David asked. “I’ll do it for you.”

⁵ “Okay then,” they said to the king. “That man who opposed and oppressed^[b] us, who planned to destroy us, keeping us from having a place to live anywhere in Israel— ⁶ hand over seven of his sons to us, and we will hang them before the Lord at Gibeon^[c] on the Lord’s mountain.”

“I will hand them over,” the king said.
