We want to go and kill those people at the hill of God at Gibeah.’ The king replied that, ‘I will hand over to you those people.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • English: “Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.’
    The king replied, ‘Okay, I will hand them over to you.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
