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.

el hijo de Jonatán, nieto de Saúl.
8 Sin embargo, les entregó a los dos hijos de Saúl, Armoni y Mefiboset, cuya madre fue Rizpa la hija de Aja. También les entregó a los cinco hijos de la hija de Saúl, Merab,
la esposa de Adriel, hijo de Barzilai de Mehola.
9 Los hombres de Gabaón los ejecutaron en el monte delante del Señor
. Los siete murieron juntos al comienzo de la cosecha de la cebada.
10 Después Rizpa, la hija de Aja y madre de dos de los hombres, extendió una tela áspera sobra una roca y permaneció allí toda la temporada de la cosecha. Ella evitó que las aves carroñeras despedazaran los cuerpos durante el día e impidió que los animales salvajes se los comieran durante la noche.
11 Cuando David supo lo que había hecho Rizpa, la concubina de Saúl,
