10:021:003 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites,
What shall I do for
you?
and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may
bless
the inheritance of the lord?
10:021:004 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will
have no silver nor
gold
of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou
kill
any
man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say,
that will I
do
for you.
10:021:005 And they answered the king, The man that
consumed us, and that
devised
against us that we should be destroyed from remaining
in
any of the coasts of Israel,
10:021:006 Let seven men of his sons be delivered
unto us, and we will
hang
them up unto the lord in Gibeah of Saul, whom
the lord
did
choose. And the king said, I will give them.
10:021:007 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son
of Jonathan the son
of
Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between
them,
between
David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
10:021:008 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah
the daughter of Aiah,
whom
she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the
five
sons
of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up
for
Adriel
the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
10:021:009 And he delivered them into the hands of
the Gibeonites, and
they
hanged them in the hill before the lord:
and they fell
all
seven together, and were put to death in the days of
harvest,
in the first days, in the beginning of barley
harvest.
10:021:010 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth,
and spread it
for
her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until
water
dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither
the
birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts
of
the
field by night.
10:021:011 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter
of Aiah, the
concubine
of Saul, had done.
10:021:012 And David went and took the bones of Saul
and the bones of
Jonathan
his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had
stolen
them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines
had
hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in
Gilboa:
10:021:013 And he brought up from thence the bones
of Saul and the bones
of
Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them
that
were
hanged.
10:021:014 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his
son buried they in the
country
of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his
father:
and they performed all that the king commanded.
And
after
that God was intreated for the land.
