That You...

Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. 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 to the children of Israel and Judah.) Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.-2 Samuel 21:1-6***When the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites heard about the victories of Joshua and the Israelites, the kings gathered to battle the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. The Gibeonites were not involved in planning an attack. Instead, the Gibeonites chose to trick the Israelites into making a treaty with them. As a result of the covenant between the Israelites and the Gibeonites, the Israelites battled 5 enemy kings who gathered against the Gibeonites. Over 300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, became the 1st king to reign over the Israelites. While reigning, Saul broke the treaty with the Gibeonites, although the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal no specific details regarding any interaction between Saul and the Gibeonites. Approximately 1,000 years after David, from the tribe of Judah, became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 7:1-26, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-12:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-2:12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30,  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
