2 Samuel 21:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will [a]hang them (A)before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, (B)the chosen of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
7 But the king spared (C)Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, (D)because of the oath of the Lord which was between them, between David and Saul’s son Jonathan. 8 So the king took the two sons of (E)Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Armoni and Mephibosheth whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of [b](F)Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the (G)Meholathite.
