2 Samuel 4:9-11

9But DavidH1732 repliedH6030 to RechabH7394 and his brotherH251 BaanahH1196, sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, and saidH559 to them, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, 1whoH834 has redeemedH6299 my lifeH5315 from allH3605 distressH6869,

102whenH3588 the one who informedH5046 me, sayingH559, ‘BeholdH2009, SaulH7586 is deadH4191,’ also 3viewedH5869 himselfH1931 as the bearerH1319 ofH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319, I seizedH270 him and killedH2026 him in ZiklagH6860, whichH834 was the rewardH1309 I gaveH5414 him forH1309 his newsH1309.

11HowH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588, whenH3588 wickedH7563 menH376 have killedH2026 a righteousH6662 manH376 in his own houseH1004 on his bedH4904, shall I not nowH6258 4requireH1245 his bloodH1818 from your handsH3027 and eliminateH1197 you both from the earthH776?”
