The king spares Mephibosheth and delivers seven men into the hands of the Gibeonites
왕이 므비보셋은 아끼고 일곱 사람을 기브온 사람의 손에 붙임
2 Samuel 21:7–9: but the king spares Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. But the king takes the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite. He delivers them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hang them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fall together. The text says, “They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.” In the Korean Revised Version 21:7–9 is one sentence that names the king once, at 21:7, and 21:9 reads 곡식 베는 처음날 (the first day of harvest).
