2 Samuel 21:5 CPDV

³  Therefore, David said to the Gibeonites: 'What shall I do for you? And what shall be your satisfaction, so that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?'

⁴  And the Gibeonites said to him: 'There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.' The king said to them, 'Then what do you wish that I should do for you?'

⁵  And they said to the king: 'The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.

⁶  Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.' And the king said, 'I will give them.'

⁷  But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
