Chapter 4
And
when
Sauls
sonne
heard
that
Abner
was
dead
in
Hebron,
his
hands
were
feeble,
and
all
the
Israelites
were
troubled.
2
And
Sauls
sonne
had
two
men
that
were
captaines
of
bands:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Baanah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Rechab,
the
sonnes
of
Rimmon
a
Beerothite,
of
the
children
of
Beniamin:
(for
Beeroth
also
was
reckoned
to
Beniamin:
3
And
the
Beerothites
fled
to
Gittaim,
and
were
soiourners
there
vntill
this
day.)
4
And
Ionathan,
Sauls
sonne,
had
a
sonne
that
was
lame
of
his
feete,
and
was
fiue
yeeres
olde
when
the
tidings
came
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
out
of
Iezreel,
and
his
nource
tooke
him
vp,
and
fled:
and
it
came
to
passe
as
she
made
haste
to
flee,
that
hee
fell,
and
became
lame,
and
his
name
was
Mephibosheth.
5
And
the
sonnes
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
Rechab
and
Baanah,
went,
and
came
about
the
heat
of
the
day
to
the
house
of
Ishbosheth,
who
lay
on
a
bed
at
noone.
6
And
they
came
thither
into
the
midst
of
the
house,
as
though
they
would
haue
fetched
wheat,
and
they
smote
him
vnder
the
fift
rib,
and
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother
escaped.
7
For
when
they
came
into
the
house,
hee
lay
on
his
bedde
in
his
bedchamber,
and
they
smote
him,
and
slew
him,
and
beheaded
him,
and
tooke
his
head,
and
gate
them
away
thorow
the
plaine
all
night.
8
And
they
brought
the
head
of
Ishbosheth
vnto
Dauid
to
Hebron,
and
said
to
the
King,
Behold
the
head
of
Ishbosheth
the
sonne
of
Saul,
thine
enemie,
which
sought
thy
life,
and
the
Lord
hath
auenged
my
lord
the
king
this
day
of
Saul
and
of
his
seed.
9
And
Dauid
answered
Rechab
and
Baanah
his
brother,
the
sonnes
of
Rimmon
the
Beerothite,
and
said
vnto
them,
As
the
Lord
liueth,
who
hath
redeemed
my
soule
out
of
all
aduersitie,
10
When
one
told
me,
saying,
Behold,
Saul
is
dead,
(thinking
to
haue
brought
good
tidings)
I
tooke
hold
of
him,
and
slew
him
in
Ziklag,
who
thought
that
I
would
haue
giuen
him
a
reward
for
his
tidings:
11
How
much
more,
when
wicked
men
haue
slaine
a
righteous
person,
in
his
owne
house,
vpon
his
bed?
Shall
I
not
therefore
now
require
his
blood
of
your
hand,
and
take
you
away
from
the
earth?
12
And
Dauid
commanded
his
yong
men,
and
they
slew
them,
and
cut
off
their
hands
and
their
feete,
and
hanged
them
vp
ouer
the
poole
in
Hebron:
but
they
tooke
the
head
of
Ishbosheth,
and
buried
it
in
the
sepulchre
of
Abner,
in
Hebron.
