2 Samuel 21:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ They said to the king, “From the man who consumed us and who planned to destroy us so that we would have no place in all the territory of Israel, ⁶ we ask you to give us seven of his male descendants. Allow us to hang them up before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, who was the chosen of the Lord.”

The king said, “I will grant it.”

⁷ The king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because of the oath of the Lord between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
