And the kingª calledª° the Gibeonites,ª and saidª° unto¹ them; (now the Gibeonitesª [were] not¹ of the childrenª¹ of Israel,ª but¹¹ of the remnantª¹ of the Amorites;ª and the childrenª of Israelª had swornª° unto them: and Saulª soughtª° to slayª° them in his zealª° to the childrenª of Israelª and Judah.)ª" {2Sm 21:1-2}
