| 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 4:3 |
|
And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were
sojourners there until this day.) |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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, |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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? |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 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. |
