2 Samuel 4:5-8

5And the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196, wentH935, and cameH935 about the heatH2527 of the dayH3117 to the houseH1004 of Ish-boshethH378, as he took his restH7901 at noonH6672. 6And they cameH935 thither into the midstH8432 of the houseH1004, as though they would have fetched wheatH2406; and they smote him in the body: and RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251 escapedH4422. 7Now when they cameH935 into the houseH1004, as he layH7901 on his bedH4904 in his bedchamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and tookH3947 his headH7218, and wentH935 by the wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160 all nightH3915. 8And they broughtH935 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378 unto DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, and saidH559 to the kingH4428, Behold, the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378, the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, thine enemyH341, who soughtH1245 thy lifeH5315; and Jehovah hath avenged my lord the kingH4428 this dayH3117 of SaulH7586, and of his seedH2233.
