- Why:
- "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 21:2} + "Seeing he despisedª° the oathª by breakingª° the covenant,ª when, lo,¹ he had givenª° his hand,ª and hath doneª° all¹ these¹ [things], he shall not¹ escape.ª° ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª [As] I¹ live,ª surely¹¹ mine oathª that¹ he hath despised,ª° and my covenantª that¹ he hath broken,²°¹ even it will I recompenseª° upon his own head.ª" {Ezk 17:18-19}
