2SA-4:1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron,
his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2SA-4:2 And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands:
the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other
Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of
Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.
2SA-4:3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners
there until this day.)
2SA-4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of
[his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul
and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled:
and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell,
and became lame. And his name [was] Mephibosheth.
2SA-4:5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,
went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of
Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
2SA-4:6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as
though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under
the fifth [rib]: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
2SA-4:7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in
his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded
him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all
night.
2SA-4:8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to
Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the
son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD
hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
2SA-4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the
sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the LORD
liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
2SA-4:10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead,
thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and
slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a
reward for his tidings:
2SA-4:11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous
person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now
require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
2SA-4:12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them,
and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up
over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth,
and buried [it] in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
