1. And when Saul's[H7586] son[H1121] heard[H8085] that[H3588] Abner[H74] was dead[H4191] in Hebron,[H2275] his hands[H3027] were feeble,[H7503] and all[H3605] the Israelites[H3478] were troubled.[H926]

2. And Saul's[H7586] son[H1121] had[H1961] two[H8147] men[H376] that were captains[H8269] of bands:[H1416] the name[H8034] of the one[H259] was Baanah,[H1196] and the name[H8034] of the other[H8145] Rechab,[H7394] the sons[H1121] of Rimmon[H7417] a Beerothite,[H886] of the children[H4480] [H1121] of Benjamin:[H1144] (for[H3588] Beeroth[H881] also[H1571] was reckoned[H2803] to[H5921] Benjamin: [H1144]

3. And the Beerothites[H886] fled[H1272] to Gittaim,[H1664] and were[H1961] sojourners[H1481] there[H8033] until[H5704] this[H2088] day.)[H3117]

4. And Jonathan,[H3083] Saul's[H7586] son,[H1121] had a son[H1121] that was lame[H5223] of his feet.[H7272] He was[H1961] five[H2568] years[H8141] old[H1121] when the tidings[H8052] came[H935] of Saul[H7586] and Jonathan[H3083] out of Jezreel,[H4480] [H3157] and his nurse[H539] took him up,[H5375] and fled:[H5127] and it came to pass,[H1961] as she made haste[H2648] to flee,[H5127] that he fell,[H5307] and became lame.[H6452] And his name[H8034] was Mephibosheth.[H4648]

5. And the sons[H1121] of Rimmon[H7417] the Beerothite,[H886] Rechab[H7394] and Baanah,[H1165] went,[H1980] and came[H935] about the heat[H2527] of the day[H3117] to[H413] the house[H1004] of Ish-bosheth,[H378] who[H1931] lay[H7901] on[H853] a bed[H4904] at noon.[H6672]

6. And they came[H935] thither[H2008] into[H5704] the midst[H8432] of the house,[H1004] as though they would have fetched[H3947] wheat;[H2406] and they smote[H5221] him under[H413] the fifth[H2570] rib: and Rechab[H7394] and Baanah[H1196] his brother[H251] escaped.[H4422]

7. For when they came[H935] into the house,[H1004] he[H1931] lay[H7901] on[H5921] his bed[H4296] in his bedchamber,[H2315] [H4904] and they smote[H5221] him, and slew[H4191] him, and beheaded[H5493] [H853] [H7218] him, and took[H3947] [H853] his head,[H7218] and got them away[H1980] through[H1870] the plain[H6160] all[H3605] night.[H3915]

8. And they brought[H935] [H853] the head[H7218] of Ish-bosheth[H378] unto[H413] David[H1732] to Hebron,[H2275] and said[H559] to[H413] the king,[H4428] Behold[H2009] the head[H7218] of Ish-bosheth[H378] the son[H1121] of Saul[H7586] thine enemy,[H341] which[H834] sought[H1245] [H853] thy life;[H5315] and the LORD[H3068] hath avenged[H5414] [H5360] my lord[H113] the king[H4428] this[H2088] day[H3117] of Saul,[H4480] [H7586] and of his seed.[H4480] [H2233]

9. And David[H1732] answered[H6030] [H853] Rechab[H7394] and Baanah[H1196] his brother,[H251] the sons[H1121] of Rimmon[H7417] the Beerothite,[H886] and said[H559] unto them, As the LORD[H3068] liveth,[H2416] who[H834] hath redeemed[H6299] [H853] my soul[H5315] out of all[H4480] [H3605] adversity,[H6869]

10. When[H3588] one told[H5046] me, saying,[H559] Behold,[H2009] Saul[H7586] is dead,[H4191] thinking[H5869] to have[H1961] brought good tidings,[H1319] I took hold[H270] of him, and slew[H2026] him in Ziklag,[H6860] who[H834] thought that I would have given[H5414] him a reward for his tidings: [H1309]

11. How much more,[H637] when[H3588] wicked[H7563] men[H376] have slain[H2026] [H853] a righteous[H6662] person[H376] in his own house[H1004] upon[H5921] his bed?[H4904] shall I not[H3808] therefore now[H6258] require[H1245] [H853] his blood[H1818] of your hand,[H4480] [H3027] and take you away[H1197] [H853] from[H4480] the earth?[H776]

12. And David[H1732] commanded[H6680] [H853] his young men,[H5288] and they slew[H2026] them, and cut off[H7112] [H853] their hands[H3027] and their feet,[H7272] and hanged them up[H8518] over[H5921] the pool[H1295] in Hebron.[H2275] But they took[H3947] the head[H7218] of Ish-bosheth,[H378] and buried[H6912] it in the sepulcher[H6913] of Abner[H74] in Hebron.[H2275]
