ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૨૧:૨
હવે ગિબ્યોનીઓ તો ઇઝરાયલના નહિ પણ અમોરીઓમાં બાકી રહેલાઓમાંના હતા. ઇઝરાયલના લોકોએ તેમની સાથે સમ ખાધા હતા, પણ શાઉલ ઇઝરાયલના લોકો તથા યહૂદિયાના લોકો માટેના તેના આવેશને લીધે તેઓને મારી નાખવાના પ્રયત્નમાં રહેતો હતો.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २१:२
तब राजा ने गिबोनियों को बुलाकर उनसे बातें की। गिबोनी लोग तो इस्राएलियों में से नहीं थे, वे बचे हुए एमोरियों में से थे; और इस्राएलियों ने उनके साथ शपथ खाई थी, परन्तु शाऊल को जो इस्राएलियों और यहूदियों के लिये जलन हुई थी, इससे उसने उन्हें मार डालने के लिये यत्न किया था।

In context

1There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”

2The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

3and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”

4The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
