2 Samuel 4
And
when
Saul's
son
heard
that
Abner
was
dead
in
Hebron,
his
hands
were
feeble,
and
all
the
Israelites
were
troubled.
2 And
Saul's
son
had
two
men
that
were
captains
of
bands:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Baanah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Rechab,
the
sons
of
Rimmon
a
Beerothite,
of
the
children
of
Benjamin:
(for
Beeroth
also
was
reckoned
to
Benjamin:
3 And
the
Beerothites
fled
to
Gittaim,
and
were
a
sojourners
there
until
this
day.)
4 And
a
Jonathan,
Saul's
son,
had
a
son
that
was
lame
of
his
feet.
He
was
five
years
old
when
the
tidings
came
of
Saul
and
Jonathan
out
of
Jezreel,
and
his
nurse
took
him
up,
and
fled:
and
it
came
to
pass,
as
she
made
haste
to
flee,
that
he
fell,
and
became
lame.
And
his
name
was
Mephibosheth.
5 And
the
sons
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
Rechab
and
Baanah,
went,
and
came
about
the
heat
of
the
day
to
the
house
of
Ish-bosheth,
who
lay
on
a
bed
at
noon.
6 And
they
came
thither
into
the
midst
of
the
house,
as
though
they
would
have
fetched
wheat;
and
they
smote
him
under
the
fifth
rib:
and
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother
escaped.
7 For
when
they
came
into
the
house,
he
lay
on
his
bed
in
his
bedchamber,
and
they
smote
him,
and
slew
him,
and
beheaded
him,
and
took
his
head,
and
gat
them
away
through
the
plain
all
night.
8 And
they
brought
the
head
of
Ish-bosheth
unto
David
to
Hebron,
and
said
to
the
king,
Behold
the
head
of
Ish-bosheth
the
son
of
Saul
thine
enemy,
which
sought
thy
life;
and
the
Lord
hath
avenged
my
lord
the
king
this
day
of
Saul,
and
of
his
seed.
