2 Samuel 21:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 21:4

And, the Gibeonites said unto him
In reply to his motion:

we will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house;
this shall not be the ransom or atonement; it was not silver and gold Saul took from them, but the lives of their brethren, and therefore they insist upon life for life:

neither for us shall thou kill any man in Israel;
who were not of the house of Saul; they did not desire any man should die, but who were of that family by whom they had suffered:

and he said, what you shall say, [that] will I do for you;
whether by inflicting pecuniary fines, or punishing with death, which latter seems to be what they suggested, and afterwards insisted on; whatever, according to law and justice, was required, he was ready to do it for them.

2 Samuel 21:4 In-Context

2 O rei então mandou chamar os gibeonitas e falou com eles. (Os gibeonitas não eram de origem israelita, mas remanescentes dos amorreus. Os israelitas tinham feito com eles um acordo sob juramento; mas Saul, em seu zelo por Israel e Judá, havia tentado exterminá-los.)
3 Davi perguntou aos gibeonitas: “Que posso fazer por vocês? Como posso reparar o que foi feito, para que abençoem a herança do SENHOR?”
4 Os gibeonitas responderam: “Não exigimos de Saul ou de sua família prata ou ouro nem queremos matar ninguém em Israel”.Davi perguntou: “O que querem que eu faça por vocês?”,
5 e eles responderam: “Quanto ao homem que quase nos exterminou e que pretendia destruir-nos, para que não tivéssemos lugar em Israel,
6 que sete descendentes dele sejam executados perante o SENHOR, em Gibeá de Saul, no monte do SENHOR”.“Eu os entregarei a vocês”, disse o rei.
