2 Samuel 21:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ They answered, “Saul wanted to destroy us and leave none of us alive anywhere in Israel. ⁶ So hand over seven of his male descendants, and we will hang them before the Lord at Gibeah, the hometown of Saul, the Lord's chosen king.”

“I will hand them over,” the king answered.

^7 (A)But because of the sacred promise that he and Jonathan had made to each other, David spared Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, the grandson of Saul.
