7 But the king had compassion on Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the (A)Lord’s oath, that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of [a]Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 And he delivered them unto the hands of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountain before the Lord: so they [b]died all seven together: and they were slain in the time of harvest: in the [c]first days, and in the beginning of barley harvest.
