2 Sa 21:14
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the grave of Kish his father; thus they did all that the king commanded, and after that God was moved by prayer for the land.

The Lord is serious about covenant.

Saul had broken covenant…either with the Gibeonites or the Lord…or both.

A famine was the result.

The Lord promised such in the Law.

They were to be faithful and obedient.
If not, there would be consequences.

David sought the Lord.
The Lord told him the problem.
David sought a solution from the Gibeonites.
A solution was offered.

Seven men were hung.

This was not so much a “sacrifice unto the Lord”.
It was the retribution of man.

Sad.

But, the Lord was now moved by prayer.

Abide in the Lord.
Be faithful to the Lord.
Trust in the Lord.
