2 Samuel 21:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of [a]Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 And he delivered them unto the hands of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountain before the Lord: so they [b]died all seven together: and they were slain in the time of harvest: in the [c]first days, and in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took [d]sackcloth and hanged it up for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until [e]water dropped upon them from the heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to [f]light on them by day, nor beasts of the field by night.
