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.

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,
