2 SAMUEL 21:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.”
The Gibeonites said to him, It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel — And the king said, What do you say? I should do for you? — The Gibeonites decline financial compensation, indicating that they seek something more fundamental than material restitution. They refuse to claim the right to execute Israelites, suggesting that while they have justice, they restrain from unlimited vengeance.
