And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

Verse 2 is found in chapter 21 of 2 Samuel. A three-year famine leads David to consult the Lord and is connected to Saul’s guilt against the Gibeonites. David negotiates with them for restitution and hands over seven descendants of Saul. The episode raises difficult questions about collective responsibility and justice within the narrative logic of the ancient monarchy. The text emphasizes that violence committed by a king can have consequences for the entire community and that restitution must address an outstanding debt.
