2 Samuel 21:8 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 21:8

6 let seven men of his descendants be delivered ^ato us, and we will hang them before the Lord ^bin Gibeah of Saul, ^cwhom the Lord chose.” And the king said, “I will give them.”

7 But the king spared ^aMephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of ^bthe Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

8 So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of ^aRizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the five sons of¹ Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she² brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;

9 and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill ^abefore the Lord. So they fell, all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

10 Now ^aRizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, ^bfrom the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.

11 And David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

12 Then David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of ^aJabesh Gilead who had stolen them from the street of¹ Beth Shan, where the ^bPhilistines had hung them up, after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa.

13 So he brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there; and they gathered the bones of those who had been hanged.
