2 Samuel 4

1And when Ish-bosheth, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, heardH8085 that AbnerH74 was deadH4191 in HebronH2275, his handsH3027 became feebleH7503, and allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 were troubled. 2And Ish-bosheth, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, had twoH8147 menH376 that were captainsH8269 of bandsH1416: the nameH8034 of the one was BaanahH1196, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 RechabH7394, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144: (for BeerothH881 also is reckonedH2803 to BenjaminH1144: 3and the BeerothitesH886 fledH1272 to GittaimH1664, and have been sojourners there untilH5704 this dayH3117.) 4NowH1961 JonathanH3083, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, had a sonH1121 that was lame of his feetH7272. He was fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the tidingsH8052 cameH935 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 outH935 of JezreelH3157, and his nurseH539 tookH5375 him upH5375, and fledH5127: and it cameH935 to passH935, as she madeH1961 hasteH2648 to fleeH5127, that he fellH5307, and becameH1961 lame. And his nameH8034 was MephiboshethH4648. 5And the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196, wentH935, and cameH935 aboutH413 the heatH2527 of the dayH3117 to the houseH1004 of Ish-boshethH378, as he tookH853 his restH7901 at noonH6672. 6And they cameH935 thither intoH413 the midstH8432 of the houseH1004, as though they would have fetched wheatH2406; and they smoteH5221 him in the bellyH2570: and RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251 escapedH4422. 7NowH935 when they cameH935 intoH935 the houseH1004, as he layH7901 on his bedH4904 in his bedchamber, they smoteH5221 him, and slewH5221 him, and beheaded him, and tookH3947 his headH7218, and wentH935 by the wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160 allH3605 nightH3915. 8And they broughtH935 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378 unto DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, and saidH559 to the kingH4428, BeholdH2009 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 thine enemyH341, whichH834 soughtH1245 thy lifeH5315; and the LORDH3068 hath avengedH5360 my lordH3068 the kingH4428 this dayH3117 of SaulH7586, and of his seedH2233. 9And DavidH1732 answeredH559 RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, and saidH559 unto them, As the LORDH3068 liveth, who hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 outH3605 of allH3605 adversityH6869, 10when one toldH5046 meH5414, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, SaulH7586 is deadH4191, thinkingH559 to have broughtH5414 goodH1319 tidingsH1319, I tookH1961 holdH270 of him, and slewH2026 him in ZiklagH6860, whichH834 was the rewardH1309 I gaveH5414 him for his tidingsH1319. 11HowH637 muchH637 moreH4480, when wickedH7563 menH376 have slainH2026 a righteousH6662 personH376 in his ownH376 houseH1004 uponH5921 his bedH4904, shall I notH3808 nowH6258 requireH1245 his bloodH1818 of your handH3027, and take youH3588 awayH4480 from the earthH776? 12And DavidH1732 commandedH6680 his youngH5288 menH5288, and they slewH2026 them, and cutH7112 offH5921 their handsH3027 and their feetH7272, and hangedH8518 them upH5921 besideH5921 the poolH1295 in HebronH2275. But they tookH3947 the headH7218 of Ish-boshethH378, and buriedH6912 it in the graveH6913 of AbnerH74 in HebronH2275.
