<07586>

son
<01121>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that Abner
<074>

was dead
<04191> (8804)

in Hebron
<02275>_,

his hands
<03027>

were feeble
<07503> (8799)_,

and all the Israelites
<03478>

were troubled
<0926> (8738)_.

And Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>

had
<01961> (8804)

two
<08147>

men
<0582>

[that were] captains
<08269>

of bands
<01416>_:

the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Baanah
<01196>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the other
<08145>

Rechab
<07394>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Rimmon
<07417>

a Beerothite
<0886>_,

of the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

(for Beeroth
<0881>

also was reckoned
<02803> (8735)

to Benjamin
<01144>_:

{other: Heb. second}

And the Beerothites
<0886>

fled
<01272> (8799)

to Gittaim
<01664>_,

and were sojourners
<01481> (8802)

there until this day
<03117>.)

And Jonathan
<03083>_,

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>_,

had a son
<01121>

[that was] lame
<05223>

of [his] feet
<07272>_.

He was five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when the tidings
<08052>

came
<0935> (8800)

of Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03083>

out of Jezreel
<03157>_,

and his nurse
<0539> (8802)

took him up
<05375> (8799)_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_:

and it came to pass, as she made haste
<02648> (8800)

to flee
<05127> (8800)_,

that he fell
<05307> (8799)_,

and became lame
<06452> (8735)_.

And his name
<08034>

[was] Mephibosheth
<04648>_.

{Mephibosheth: or, Meribbaal}

And the sons
<01121>

of Rimmon
<07417>

the Beerothite
<0886>_,

Rechab
<07394>

and Baanah
<01196>_,

went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

about the heat
<02527>

of the day
<03117>

to the house
<01004>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,

who lay
<07901> (8802)

on a bed
<04904>

at noon
<06672>_.

And they came thither
<0935> (8804)

into the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_,

[as though] they would have fetched
<03947> (8802)

wheat
<02406>_;

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

him under the fifth
<02570>

[rib]: and Rechab
<07394>

and Baanah
<01196>

his brother
<0251>

escaped
<04422> (8738)_.

For when they came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_,

he lay
<07901> (8802)

on his bed
<04296>

in his bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_,

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

him, and beheaded
<05493> (8686)

him, and took
<03947> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

and gat them away
<03212> (8799)

through
<01870>

the plain
<06160>

all night
<03915>_.

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>

unto David
<01732>

to Hebron
<02275>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

Behold the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

which sought
<01245> (8765)

thy life
<05315>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath
<05414> (8799)

avenged
<05360>

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

this day
<03117>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and of his seed
<02233>_.

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Rechab
<07394>

and Baanah
<01196>

his brother
<0251>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Rimmon
<07417>

the Beerothite
<0886>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

who hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

out of all adversity
<06869>_,

When one told
<05046> (8688)

me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Saul
<07586>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

thinking to have brought
<05869>

good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

I took hold
<0270> (8799)

of him, and slew
<02026> (8799)

him in Ziklag
<06860>_,

who [thought] that I would have given
<05414> (8800)

him a reward for his tidings
<01309>_:

{thinking...: Heb. he was in his own eyes as a bringer, etc} {who...: or, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings}

How much more, when wicked
<07563>

men
<0582>

have slain
<02026> (8804)

a righteous
<06662>

person
<0376>

in his own house
<01004>

upon his bed
<04904>_?

shall I not therefore now require
<01245> (8762)

his blood
<01818>

of your hand
<03027>_,

and take you away
<01197> (8765)

from the earth
<0776>_?

And David
<01732>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

his young men
<05288>_,

and they slew
<02026> (8799)

them, and cut off
<07112> (8762)

their hands
<03027>

and their feet
<07272>_,

and hanged [them] up
<08518> (8799)

over the pool
<01295>

in Hebron
<02275>_.

But they took
<03947> (8804)

the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

[it] in the sepulchre
<06913>

of Abner
<074>

in Hebron
<02275>_.
