Lalu berkatalah orang-orang Gibeon itu kepadanya: "Bukanlah perkara emas dan perak urusan kami dengan Saul serta keluarganya, juga bukanlah urusan kami untuk membunuh seseorang di antara orang Israel." Tetapi kata Daud: "Apakah yang kamu kehendaki akan kuperbuat bagimu?"
Maka sembah orang Gibeon kepada baginda: Bukannya patik sengajakan emas perak dari pada Saul atau dari pada orang isi istananya, lagipun tiada patik sengajakan matinya barang seorang dari pada orang Israel. Maka titah baginda: Barang yang hendak kamu katakan itu niscaya kuperbuat kamu kelak.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And, the Gibeonites said unto him,.... In reply to his motion:
we will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; this shall not be the ransom or atonement; it was not silver and gold Saul took from them, but the lives of their brethren, and therefore they insist upon life for life:
neither for us shall thou kill any man in Israel; who were not of the house of Saul; they did not desire any man should die, but who were of that family by whom they had suffered:
and he said, what you shall say, [that] will I do for you; whether by inflicting pecuniary fines, or punishing with death, which latter seems to be what they suggested, and afterwards insisted on; whatever, according to law and justice, was required, he was ready to do it for them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
No silver, nor gold ... - Money payments as a compensation for blood-guilt were very common among many nations. The law, too, in Numbers 35:31-32, presupposes the existence of the custom which it prohibits. In like manner the speech of the Gibeonites implies that such a payment as they refuse would be a not unusual proceeding.
Neither ... shalt thou kill any man in Israel - They mean that it is not against the nation of Israel, but against the individual Saul, that they cry for vengeance. The demand for Saul’s sons is exactly similar to that which dictated David’s own expression in 2 Samuel 24:17, “against me, and against my father’s house.”
