2 Samuel 21:9

Listen to 2 Samuel 21:9
9 y los entregó en manos de los gabaonitas, que los ahorcaron en el monte delante del SEÑOR, de modo que los siete cayeron a la vez; les dieron muerte en los primeros días de la cosecha, al comienzo de la cosecha de la cebada.

2 Samuel 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 21:9

And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites
The two sons of Rizpah and the five sons of Merab, two sons of Saul and five grandsons:

and they hanged them in the hill before the Lord;
in the hill at Gibeah, that they might be seen by all that passed by, and serve to deter from such evils, which brought on them that punishment; gibbetings or crucifixions were commonly made on hills and mountains {l}: the phrase, "before the Lord", is either the same as "unto the Lord", ( 2 Samuel 21:6 ) ; to make atonement to the Lord, and in his sight; or it denotes that it was done publicly before the sun, and in the sight of it; for it cannot mean before the ark, the symbol of the divine Presence, for that was not there:

and they fell [all] seven together;
they were hanged together, and died at one and the same time:

and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], in
the beginning of barley harvest;
which began at the passover, the morrow after the first day of the feast, ( Leviticus 23:10 Leviticus 23:11 ) ; which was the sixteenth of Nisan, on which day, the Jews say F13, these men were hanged, and which must be about the beginning of our April.

7 Pero el rey perdonó a Mefiboset, hijo de Jonatán, hijo de Saúl, a causa del pacto del SEÑOR que había entre ellos, entre David y Jonatán, hijo de Saúl.
8 El rey tomó a los dos hijos de Rizpa, hija de Aja, Armoni y Mefiboset, que ella había dado a Saúl, y a los cinco hijos de Merab , hija de Saúl, que ella había dado a Adriel, hijo de Barzilai meholatita,
9 y los entregó en manos de los gabaonitas, que los ahorcaron en el monte delante del SEÑOR, de modo que los siete cayeron a la vez; les dieron muerte en los primeros días de la cosecha, al comienzo de la cosecha de la cebada.
10 Y Rizpa, hija de Aja, tomó tela de cilicio y lo tendió para sí sobre la roca, desde el comienzo de la cosecha hasta que llovió del cielo sobre ellos; y no permitió que las aves del cielo se posaran sobre ellos de día ni las fieras del campo de noche.
11 Cuando le fue contado a David lo que Rizpa, hija de Aja, concubina de Saúl, había hecho,
