II Samuel 21:9

Chapter overview (whole chapter)
A three-year famine struck Israel because Saul had slain the Gibeonites, so David allowed seven of Saul's descendants to be hanged to atone for the bloodguilt. The chapter also recounts battles against Philistine giants, including Goliath's brothers, in which David's mighty men fought valiantly.
