They were put to death in the first days of harvest, at the beginning of barley harvest. He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies on a hill before the LORD.

And she did not allow the birds of the air to come upon them by day, or the beasts of the field by night. Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest till the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not let the birds touch them by day or the wild animals by night.
