2 Samuel 21:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ So they said to the king, “^(A)The man who destroyed us and who planned ^[a]to eliminate us so that we would not exist within any border of Israel— ⁶ let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will ^[b]hang them ^(B)before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, ^(C)the chosen of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”

⁷ But the king spared ^(D)Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, ^(E)because of the oath of the Lord which was between them, between David and Saul’s son Jonathan.
