Commentary for II Samuel 21:9

וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֞ם בְּיַ֣ד הַגִּבְעֹנִ֗ים וַיֹּקִיעֻ֤ם בָּהָר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיִּפְּל֥וּ שבעתים [שְׁבַעְתָּ֖ם] יָ֑חַד והם [וְהֵ֨מָּה] הֻמְת֜וּ בִּימֵ֤י קָצִיר֙ בָּרִ֣אשֹׁנִ֔ים תחלת [בִּתְחִלַּ֖ת] קְצִ֥יר שְׂעֹרִֽים׃

and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell all seven together; and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.

Rashi on II Samuel

At the beginning of the harvest. During the days of Nisson.
