Where do you find that in the text? It seems to me that silver and gold
are explictly ruled out of court.
If you think so, you must also think that the Gibeonites killing Saul's
descendants was explicitly ruled out of court. But the Gibeonites' words
are surely better understood as diplomatic talk meaning something like:
"We have no right to tell you, the king, what should be done, but we
suggest either silver and gold, or killing Saul's descendants".
