1
Now when Ish-bosheth, Saul's
son,
heard
that Abner
had died
in Hebron,
he lost
courage,
and all
Israel
was disturbed.
2
Saul's
son
had two
men
who were commanders
of bands:
the name
of the one
was Baanah
and
the name
of the other
Rechab,
sons
of Rimmon
the Beerothite,
of the
sons
of Benjamin
(for Beeroth
is also
considered
part
of Benjamin
,
3
and the Beerothites
fled
to Gittaim
and have been
aliens
there
until
this
day).
4
Now Jonathan,
Saul's
son,
had a son
crippled
in his feet.
He was five
years
old
when the report
of Saul
and Jonathan
came
from Jezreel,
and his nurse
took
him up and fled.
And it happened
that in her hurry
to flee,
he fell
and became lame.
And his name
was Mephibosheth.
5
So the sons
of Rimmon
the Beerothite,
Rechab
and Baanah,
departed
and came
to the house
of Ish-bosheth
in the heat
of the day
while he was taking
his midday
rest.
6
They came
to the middle
of the house
as if to get
wheat,
and they struck
him in the belly;
and Rechab
and Baanah
his brother
escaped.
7
Now when they came
into the house,
as he was lying
on his bed
in his bedroom,
they struck
him and killed
him and beheaded
him. And they took
his head
and traveled
by way
of the Arabah
all
night.
8
Then they brought
the head
of Ish-bosheth
to David
at Hebron
and said
to
the king
,
"Behold,
the head
of Ish-bosheth
the son
of Saul,
your enemy,
who
sought
your life;
thus the LORD
has given
my lord
the king
vengeance
this
day
on Saul
and his descendants."
9
David
answered
Rechab
and Baanah
his brother,
sons
of Rimmon
the Beerothite,
and said
to them, "As the LORD
lives,
who
has redeemed
my life
from all
distress,
10
when
one told
me, saying,
'Behold,
Saul
is dead,'
and thought
he was bringing good news,
I seized
him and killed
him in Ziklag,
which
was the reward
I gave
him for his news.
11
"How much
more,
when
wicked
men
have killed
a righteous
man
in his own house
on his bed,
shall I not now
require
his blood
from your hand
and destroy
you from the earth?"
12
Then David
commanded
the young men,
and they killed
them and cut off
their hands
and feet
and hung
them up beside
the pool
in Hebron.
But they took
the head
of Ish-bosheth
and buried
it in the grave
of Abner
in Hebron.
