2 Samuel 4

1And when Ish-bosheth, Saul's^H7586 son^H1121, heard^H8085 that Abner^H74 was dead^H4191 in Hebron^H2275, his hands^H3027 became feeble^H7503, and all the Israelites^H3478 were troubled^H926. 2And Ish-bosheth, Saul's^H7586 son^H1121, had^H1961 two^H8147 men^H582 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 the Beerothite^H886, of the children^H1121 of Benjamin^H1144 (for Beeroth^H881 also is reckoned^H2803 to Benjamin^H1144: 3and the Beerothites^H886 fled^H1272 to Gittaim^H1664, and have been sojourners^H1481 there until this day^H3117). 4Now Jonathan^H3083, Saul's^H7586 son^H1121, had a son^H1121 that was lame^H5223 of his feet^H7272. He was five^H2568 years^H8141 old^H1121 when the tidings^H8052 came^H935 of Saul^H7586 and Jonathan^H3083 out of Jezreel^H3157; and his nurse^H539 took him up^H5375, and fled^H5127: and it came to pass, as she made haste^H2648 to flee^H5127, that he fell^H5307, and became lame^H6452. And his name^H8034 was Mephibosheth^H4648. 5And the sons^H1121 of Rimmon^H7417 the Beerothite^H886, Rechab^H7394 and Baanah^H1196, went^H3212, and came^H935 about the heat^H2527 of the day^H3117 to the house^H1004 of Ish-bosheth^H378, as he took^H7901 his rest^H4904 at noon^H6672. 6And they came thither^H935 into the midst^H8432 of the house^H1004, as though they would have fetched^H3947 wheat^H2406; and they smote^H5221 him in the body^H2570: and Rechab^H7394 and Baanah^H1196 his brother^H251 escaped^H4422. 7Now when they came^H935 into the house^H1004, as he lay^H7901 on his bed^H4296 in his bedchamber^H2315, they smote^H5221 him, and slew^H4191 him, and beheaded^H5493 him, and took^H3947 his head^H7218, and went^H3212 by the way^H1870 of the Arabah^H6160 all night^H3915. 8And they brought^H935 the head^H7218 of Ish-bosheth^H378 unto David^H1732 to Hebron^H2275, and said^H559 to the king^H4428, Behold, the head^H7218 of Ish-bosheth^H378, the son^H1121 of Saul^H7586, thine enemy^H341, who sought^H1245 thy life^H5315; and Jehovah^H3068 hath^H5414 avenged^H5360 my lord^H3068 the king^H4428 this day^H3117 of Saul^H7586, and of his seed^H2233. 9And David^H1732 answered^H6030 Rechab^H7394 and Baanah^H1196 his brother^H251, the sons^H1121 of Rimmon^H7417 the Beerothite^H886, and said^H559 unto them, As Jehovah^H3068 liveth^H2416, who hath redeemed^H6299 my soul^H5315 out of all adversity^H6869, 10when one told^H5046 me, saying^H559, Behold, Saul^H7586 is dead^H4191, thinking to have brought^H5869 good tidings^H1319, I took hold^H270 of him, and slew^H2026 him in Ziklag^H6860, which was the reward I gave^H5414 him for his tidings^H1309. 11How much more, when wicked^H7563 men^H582 have slain^H2026 a righteous^H6662 person^H376 in his own house^H1004 upon his bed^H4904, shall I not now require^H1245 his blood^H1818 of your hand^H3027, and take you away^H1197 from the earth^H776? 12And David^H1732 commanded^H6680 his young men^H5288, and they slew^H2026 them, and cut off^H7112 their hands^H3027 and their feet^H7272, and hanged them up^H8518 beside the pool^H1295 in Hebron^H2275. But they took^H3947 the head^H7218 of Ish-bosheth^H378, and buried^H6912 it in the grave^H6913 of Abner^H74 in Hebron^H2275.
