Should they repay evil for good? They have dug a pit to kill me, though I pleaded for them and tried to protect them from your anger.So let their children starve! Let them die by the sword! Let their wives become childless widows. Let their old men die in a plague, and let their young men be killed in battle!

2 Samuel 21 1-2 Samuel 21 14
There was a famine during David’s reign that lasted for three years, so David asked the Lord about it. And the Lord said,“ The famine has come because Saul and his family are guilty of murdering the Gibeonites.”So the king summoned the Gibeonites. They were not part of Israel but were all that was left of the nation of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul, in his zeal for Israel and Judah, had tried to wipe them out.David asked them,“ What can I do for you? How can I make amends so that you will bless the Lord’s people again?”“ Well, money can’t settle this matter between us and the family of Saul,” the Gibeonites replied.“ Neither can we demand the life of anyone in Israel.”“ What can I do then?” David asked.“ Just tell me and I will do it for you.”Then they replied,“ It was Saul who planned to destroy us, to keep us from having any place at all in the territory of Israel.So let seven of Saul’s sons be handed over to us, and we will execute them before the Lord at Gibeon, on the mountain of the Lord.”“ All right,” the king said,“ I will do it.”The king spared Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth, who was Saul’s grandson, because of the oath David and Jonathan had sworn before the Lord.But he gave them Saul’s two sons Armoni and Mephibosheth, whose mother was Rizpah daughter of Aiah. He also gave them the five sons of Saul’s daughter Merab, the wife of Adriel son of Barzillai from Meholah.The men of Gibeon executed them on the mountain before the Lord. So all seven of them died together at the beginning of the barley harvest.Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, the mother of two of the men, spread burlap on a rock and stayed there the entire harvest season. She prevented the scavenger birds from tearing at their bodies during the day and stopped wild animals from eating them at night.When David learned what Rizpah, Saul’s concubine, had done,he went to the people of Jabesh gilead and retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan.( When the Philistines had killed Saul and Jonathan on Mount Gilboa, the people of Jabesh gilead stole their bodies from the public square of Beth shan, where the Philistines had hung them.)So David obtained the bones of Saul and Jonathan, as well as the bones of the men the Gibeonites had executed.Then the king ordered that they bury the bones in the tomb of Kish, Saul’s father, at the town of Zela in the land of Benjamin. After that, God ended the famine in the land.

Psalms 109:4-13
I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations even as I am praying for them!They repay evil for good, and hatred for my love.They say,“ Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.When his case comes up for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins.Let his years be few; let someone else take his position.May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.May his children wander as beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.May creditors seize his entire estate, and strangers take all he has earned.Let no one be kind to him; let no one pity his fatherless children.May all his offspring die. May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.

Psalms 55:12-15
It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.Instead, it is you— my equal, my companion and close friend.What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.
