1599 Geneva Bible
6 Let seven men of his [a]sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up [b]unto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lord’s chosen, And the king said, I will give them.
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 [c]Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
