Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty;Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;

During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD.And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”

At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)

So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”

The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.”“Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
