Chapter 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
sojourners
there
until
this
day.)
4
And
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.
9
And
David
answered
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother,
the
sons
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
and
said
unto
them,
As
the
Lord
liveth,
who
hath
redeemed
my
soul
out
of
all
adversity,
10
When
one
told
me,
saying,
Behold,
Saul
is
dead,
thinking
to
have
brought
good
tidings,
I
took
hold
of
him,
and
slew
him
in
Ziklag,
who
thought
that
I
would
have
given
him
a
reward
for
his
tidings:
11
How
much
more,
when
wicked
men
have
slain
a
righteous
person
in
his
own
house
upon
his
bed?
shall
I
not
therefore
now
require
his
blood
of
your
hand,
and
take
you
away
from
the
earth?
12
And
David
commanded
his
young
men,
and
they
slew
them,
and
cut
off
their
hands
and
their
feet,
and
hanged
them
up
over
the
pool
in
Hebron.
But
they
took
the
head
of
Ish-bosheth,
and
buried
it
in
the
sepulchre
of
Abner
in
Hebron.
