Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.

Verse 6 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.

Gebt uns sieben Männer aus seinem Hause, daß wir sie aufhängen dem HERRN zu Gibea Sauls, des Erwählten des HERRN. Der König sprach: Ich will sie geben.
Dénsenos siete varones de sus hijos, para que los ahorquemos a Jehová en Gabaa de Saúl, el escogido de Jehová. Y el rey dijo: Yo los daré.
qu'on nous livre sept hommes d'entre ses fils, et nous les pendrons devant l'Eternel à Guibea de Saül, l'élu de l'Eternel. Et le roi dit: Je les livrerai.
e noi li appiccheremo al Signore in Ghibea di Saulle, eletto del Signore. E il re disse loro: Io ve li darò.
De seus filhos se nos dêem sete homens, para que os enforquemos ao SENHOR em Gibeá de Saul, o eleito do SENHOR. E disse o rei: Eu os darei.
