2 Samuel 21:7–14

⁷But the king spared ^hMephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of ⁱthe Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. ⁸So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of ^jRizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the five sons of ²Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she ³brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite; ⁹and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill ^kbefore 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.

¹⁰Now ^lRizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, ^mfrom 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.

¹¹And David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. ¹²Then David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of ⁿJabesh Gilead who had stolen them from the street of ⁴Beth Shan, where the ^oPhilistines had hung them up, after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa. ¹³So 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. ¹⁴They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in ^pZelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. And after that ^qGod heeded the prayer for the land.
