(Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites; and the Israelites had sworn to them. Yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for Israel and Judah.) 3 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And how shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD? 4 And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver or gold from Saul or his house, neither shall you kill any man in Israel for us.
