2 Samuel 4 1 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron , his hands were feeble , and all the Israelites were troubled . Copy 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 : Copy 3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim , and were sojourners there until this day .) Copy 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 . Copy 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite , Rechab and Baanah , went , and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish–bosheth , who lay on a bed at noon . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 8 And they brought the head of Ish–bosheth unto David to Hebron , and said to the king , Behold the head of Ish–bosheth 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 . Copy 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 , Copy 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 : Copy 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 ? Copy 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 Ish–bosheth , and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron . Copy
