2 Samuel 21:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “We are not asking for silver and gold from Saul or his family,(A) and we cannot put anyone to death in Israel.”(B)
“Whatever you say, I will do for you,” he said.
5 They replied to the king, “As for the man who annihilated us and plotted to destroy us so we would not exist within the whole territory of Israel, 6 let seven of his male descendants be handed over to us so we may hang[a] them in the presence of the Lord(C) at Gibeah of Saul,(D) the Lord’s chosen.”(E)
The king answered, “I will hand them over.”
