And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:)

Και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς τους Γαβαωνιτας και ειπε προς αυτους· οι δε Γαβαωνιται δεν ησαν των υιων Ισραηλ, αλλ' εκ των εναπολειφθεντων Αμορραιων· και οι υιοι Ισραηλ ειχον ομοσει προς αυτους· ο δε Σαουλ εζητησε να θανατωση αυτους απο του ζηλου αυτου προς τους υιους Ισραηλ και Ιουδα.
