2 Samuel 21:6-8
International Standard Version
6 is to have[a] seven of his sons turned over to us. We will hang[b] them in the presence of the Lord at Gibeah, which belonged to Saul, whom the Lord chose.”
So the king answered, “I will give them.”[c] 7 The king exempted Mephibosheth, the son of Saul’s son Jonathan, because of the promise to the Lord that existed between David and Saul’s son Jonathan.
8 Instead, the king arrested Aiah’s daughter Rizpah’s two sons Armoni and Mephibosheth, whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab, whom she had borne to Barzillai the Meholathite’s son Adriel.
