⁷ But the king spared ^(A)Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, ^(B)because of the oath of Yahweh which was between them, between David and Saul’s son Jonathan. ⁸ So the king took the two sons of ^(C)Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Armoni and Mephibosheth whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of ^[a](D)Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the ^(E)Meholathite. ⁹ Then he gave them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they ^[b]hanged them in the mountain before Yahweh, so that the seven of them fell together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest at ^(F)the beginning of barley harvest.
