In context — 2 Samuel 21:10
And Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water was poured down from the heavens upon them. She did not allow the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
