Commentary on 2 Samuel 21:5

Theological / Devotional

As a people they were probably all but destroyed, with only a remnant remaining, probably scattered here and there throughout the land. Since Saul was primarily responsible for this crime, the Gibeonites now asked that his house should carry the blame.
