2 Samuel 21:2 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 21:2

David Avenges the Gibeonites

1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David ^ainquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, “It is because of Saul and his¹ bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.”

2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but ^aof the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them ^bin his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.

3 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless ^athe inheritance of the Lord?”

4 And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us.” So he said, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
