2 Samuel 21:2

Expanded Bible

² (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites; they were ·a group of Amorites who were left alive [^Lthe remnant of the Amorites]. The Israelites had ·promised [sworn; vowed; Josh. 9:14–15] not to hurt the Gibeonites, but Saul had tried to ·kill [annihilate; exterminate] them, because ·he was eager to help [of his zeal for] the people of Israel and Judah.)

King David called the Gibeonites together and spoke to them.
