2 Samuel 21:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ But the king spared Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son and Saul’s grandson, because of the oath in the Lord’s name between David and Jonathan, son of Saul. ⁸ The king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah (Aiah’s daughter) gave birth to for Saul, and five sons whom Merab ^[a] (Saul’s daughter) gave birth to for Adriel, son of Barzillai from Meholah. ⁹ The king handed them over to the Gibeonites, who executed them on the mountain in the Lord’s presence. All seven died together. They were killed at the beginning of the harvest, when people started harvesting barley.
