2 Samuel 21:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
2
So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).
3
David said to the Gibeonites, 'What should I do for you? And how can I make amends, so that you will bless the inheritance of the
Lord
?'
4
Then the Gibeonites said to him, 'For us it is not
a matter
of silver or gold with Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put anyone to death in Israel.' Nevertheless
David
said, 'I will do for you whatever you say.'
5
So they said to the king, 'The man who destroyed us and who planned to eliminate us so that we would not exist within any border of Israel—
6
let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will hang them before the
Lord
in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the
Lord
.' And the king said, 'I will give
them.
'
King James Version
Chapter 21
2
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
3
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
?
4
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.
5
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,
6
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
2
The Gibeonites were not Israelites but rather a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but Saul had tried to kill them in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah. So David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.
3
He asked the Gibeonites, "What should I do for you? How can I make atonement so that you will bring a blessing on the
Lord
’s inheritance?"
4
The Gibeonites said to him, "We are not asking for silver and gold from Saul or his family, and we cannot put anyone to death in Israel." "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 them in the presence of the
Lord
at Gibeah of Saul, the
Lord
’s chosen." The king answered, "I will hand them over."
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
2
So the king summoned the Gibeonites. They were not part of Israel but were all that was left of the nation of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul, in his zeal for Israel and Judah, had tried to wipe them out.
3
David asked them, 'What can I do for you? How can I make amends so that you will bless the
Lord
’s people again?'
4
Well, money can’t settle this matter between us and the family of Saul,' the Gibeonites replied. 'Neither can we demand the life of anyone in Israel.' 'What can I do then?' David asked. 'Just tell me and I will do it for you.'
5
Then they replied, 'It was Saul who planned to destroy us, to keep us from having any place at all in the territory of Israel.
6
So let seven of Saul’s sons be handed over to us, and we will execute them before the
Lord
at Gibeon, on the mountain of the
Lord
. ' 'All right,' the king said, 'I will do it.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 21
2
So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the people of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. Although the people of Israel had sworn to spare them, Saul had sought to strike them down in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.
3
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? And how shall I make atonement, that you may bless the heritage of the
Lord
?"
4
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." And he said, "What do you say that I shall do for you?"
5
They said to the king, "The man who consumed us and planned to destroy us, so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel,
6
let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them before the
Lord
at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the
Lord
." And the king said, "I will give them."
New International Version
Chapter 21
2
The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.)
3
David asked the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? How shall I make atonement so that you will bless the
Lord
’s inheritance?"
4
The Gibeonites answered him, "We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death." "What do you want me to do for you?" David asked.
5
They answered the king, "As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel,
6
let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and their bodies exposed before the
Lord
at Gibeah of Saul—the
Lord
’s chosen one." So the king said, "I will give them to you."
New King James Version
Chapter 21
2
So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites
were
not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.
3
Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the
Lord
?”
4
And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us.” So he said, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
5
Then they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us,
that
we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel,
6
let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the
Lord
in Gibeah of Saul,
whom
the
Lord
chose.” And the king said, “I will give
them.
