2 Samuel 21

A three-year famine afflicts Israel because Saul violated a covenant with the Gibeonites by attempting to destroy them; David resolves the bloodguilt by delivering seven of Saul's descendants to the Gibeonites for execution, after which the famine ends and Israel defeats the Philistines in subsequent battles.
