• 2 Sam 21:1-6 : 1 In the days of David, there was a famine for three years, year after year, and David sought the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is because of Saul and his bloody 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 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. And he said, Whatever you say, that will I do for you. 5 And they answered the king, The man who consumed us and plotted against us to destroy us from remaining in any territory of Israel, 6 Let seven of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose. And the king said, I will give them.

Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Or shall he break the covenant and be delivered? 16 As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. 17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, by casting up mounds and building forts to cut off many persons: 18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand and has done all these things, he shall not escape. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken, I will recompense on his own head. 20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will contend with him there for his trespass which he has trespassed against me. 21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and you shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
