2 Samuel 21:1-2

LEB(i) 1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David inquired of Yahweh,* and Yahweh said, "The bloodguilt is on Saul and on his household, because he killed the Gibeonites." 2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not from the Israelites;* they were from the remainder of the Amorites. Now the Israelites* had sworn to them,* but Saul tried to wipe them out in his zeal for the Israelites* and Judah.
