2 Samuel 4:10-12

101whenH3588 one toldH5046 me, sayingH559, ‘BeholdH2009, SaulH7586 is deadH4191,’ and 2thoughtH5869 he was bringingH1319 good newsH1319, I seizedH270 him and killedH2026 him in ZiklagH6860, whichH834 was the rewardH1309 I gaveH5414 him for his newsH1309.

11HowH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588, whenH3588 wickedH7563 menH376 have killedH2026 a righteousH6662 manH376 in his own houseH1004 on his bedH4904, shall I not nowH6258 3requireH1245 his bloodH1818 from your handH3027 and 4destroyH1197 you from the earthH776?”

12Then 5DavidH1732 commandedH6680 the youngH5288 menH5288, and they killedH2026 them and cutH7112 offH7112 their handsH3027 and feetH7272 and hungH8518 them up besideH5921 the poolH1295 in HebronH2275. But they tookH3947 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378 6and buriedH6912 it in the graveH6913 of AbnerH74 in HebronH2275.
