2 Samuel 4:9-12

9But DavidH1732 answeredH6030 RechabH7394 andH853 his brotherH251 BaanahH1196, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, “As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 has redeemedH6299 my lifeH5315 from allH3605 distressH6869, 10whenH3588 someone toldH5046 meH559, ‘LookH2009, SaulH7586 is deadH4191,’ and thoughtH5869 heH1931 wasH1961 a bearer of good newsH1319, I seizedH270 him and put him to deathH2026 at ZiklagH6860. ThatH834 was his rewardH5414 for his newsH1309! 11How much moreH637, whenH3588 wickedH7563 menH582 killH2026 a righteousH6662 manH376 in his own houseH1004 and onH5921 his own bedH4904, shall I not nowH6258H3808 requireH1245 his bloodH1818 fromH4480 your handsH3027 and remove youH1197 from the earthH776!”

12So DavidH1732 commandedH6680 his young menH5288, and they killedH2026 Rechab and Baanah. They cut offH7112 their handsH3027 and feetH7272 and hungH8518 their bodies byH5921 the poolH1295 in HebronH2275, but they tookH3947 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378 and buriedH6912 it in Abner’sH74 tombH6913 in HebronH2275.
