2 Samuel 21:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 21:5

And they answered the king
Declaring expressly what they would have done: the man that consumed us; meaning Saul, who lessened their number by cruel oppressions of some, and by taking away the lives of others:

and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from
remaining in any of the coasts of Israel;
who had formed schemes, and published edicts, for banishing them out of the land; perhaps at the same time that he put away wizards and those that had familiar spirits out of the land, under the same pretence for zeal for the glory of God, and the good of the people of the land, ( 1 Samuel 28:3-9 ) .

2 Samuel 21:5 In-Context

3 y les preguntó:—¿Qué quieren que haga por ustedes? ¿Cómo puedo reparar el mal que se les ha hecho, de modo que bendigan al pueblo que es herencia del SEÑOR?
4 Los gabaonitas respondieron:—No nos interesa el dinero de Saúl y de su familia, ni tampoco queremos que muera alguien en Israel.—Entonces, ¿qué desean que haga por ustedes? —volvió a preguntar el rey.
5 —Saúl quiso destruirnos —contestaron ellos—; se propuso exterminarnos y nos expulsó de todo el territorio israelita.
6 Por eso pedimos que se nos entreguen siete de los descendientes de Saúl, a quien el SEÑOR escogió, para colgarlos en presencia del SEÑOR en Guibeá de Saúl.—Se los entregaré —les prometió el rey.
7 Sin embargo, por el juramento que David y Jonatán se habían hecho en presencia del SEÑOR, el rey tuvo compasión de Mefiboset, que era hijo de Jonatán y nieto de Saúl.
