Hanged for Saul's houses's bloodguilt and protected by his mother
During a 3-year famine, King David sought the LORD and learned of the bloodguilt of Saul's house against the Gibeonites. They asked for 7 of Saul's sons to hang in Gibeah of Saul, so David gave them Armoni and Mephibosheth of Saul and Rizpah the daughter of Aiah and the 5 sons of Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite and Merab.
Rizpah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock then from the beginning of the harvest until rain fell, she kept bird and animals away from her sons' bodies. When David heard of her, he gathered Saul, Jonathan, and the hanged sons' bones and had them interred in Kish's tomb in the land of Benjamin in Zela.
