⁴ The Gibeonites said to David, “We cannot ·demand [settle this with] silver or gold from Saul or his ·family [^Lhouse]. And ·we don’t have the right [^Lit’s not for us] to kill anyone in Israel.”

Then David asked, “·What do you want me to do for you [Tell me what to do and I will do it]?”

⁵ The Gibeonites said, “·Saul [^LThe man] ·made plans against [destroyed; consumed] us and ·tried to destroy [planned to annihilate/exterminate] all our people ·who are [so we would have no place] left in the land of Israel. ⁶ So bring seven of his sons to us. Then we will ·kill them and hang them on stakes [impale/execute them] in the presence of the Lord at Gibeah, the hometown of Saul, the Lord’s chosen king.”

The king said, “I will give them to you.”
