[1]And when Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 heardH8085[H8799] that AbnerH74 was deadH4191[H8804] in HebronH2275, his handsH3027 were feebleH7503[H8799], and all the IsraelitesH3478 were troubledH926.[H8738]
[2]And Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 hadH1961[H8804] twoH8147 menH582 that were captainsH8269 of bandsH1416: the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BaanahH1196, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RechabH7394, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 a BeerothiteH886, of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144: (for BeerothH881 also was reckonedH2803[H8735] to BenjaminH1144:
[3]And the BeerothitesH886 fledH1272[H8799] to GittaimH1664, and were sojournersH1481[H8802] there until this dayH3117.)
[4]And JonathanH3083, Saul'sH7586 sonH1121, had a sonH1121 that was lameH5223 of his feetH7272. He was fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the tidingsH8052 cameH935[H8800] of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 out of JezreelH3157, and his nurseH539[H8802] took him upH5375[H8799], and fledH5127[H8799]: and it came to pass, as she made hasteH2648[H8800] to fleeH5127[H8800], that he fellH5307[H8799], and became lameH6452[H8735]. And his nameH8034 was MephiboshethH4648.
[5]And the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196, wentH3212[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] about the heatH2527 of the dayH3117 to the houseH1004 of IshboshethH378, who layH7901[H8802] on a bedH4904 at noonH6672.
[6]And they came thitherH935[H8804] into the midstH8432 of the houseH1004, as though they would have fetchedH3947[H8802] wheatH2406; and they smoteH5221[H8686] him under the fifthH2570 rib: and RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251 escapedH4422.[H8738]
[7]For when they cameH935[H8799] into the houseH1004, he layH7901[H8802] on his bedH4296 in his bedchamberH2315[H4904], and they smoteH5221[H8686] him, and slewH4191[H8686] him, and beheadedH5493[H8686] him, and tookH3947[H8799] his headH7218, and gat them awayH3212[H8799] throughH1870 the plainH6160 all nightH3915.
[8]And they broughtH935[H8686] the headH7218 of IshboshethH378 unto DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, and saidH559[H8799] to the kingH4428, Behold the headH7218 of IshboshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 thine enemyH341[H8802], which soughtH1245[H8765] thy lifeH5315; and the LORDH3068 hathH5414[H8799] avengedH5360 my lordH113 the kingH4428 this dayH3117 of SaulH7586, and of his seedH2233.
[9]And DavidH1732 answeredH6030[H8799] RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, and saidH559[H8799] unto them, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, who hath redeemedH6299[H8804] my soulH5315 out of all adversityH6869,
[10]When one toldH5046[H8688] me, sayingH559[H8800], Behold, SaulH7586 is deadH4191[H8804], thinking to have broughtH5869 good tidingsH1319[H8764], I took holdH270[H8799] of him, and slewH2026[H8799] him in ZiklagH6860, who thought that I would have givenH5414[H8800] him a reward for his tidingsH1309:
[11]How much more, when wickedH7563 menH582 have slainH2026[H8804] a righteousH6662 personH376 in his own houseH1004 upon his bedH4904? shall I not therefore now requireH1245[H8762] his bloodH1818 of your handH3027, and take you awayH1197[H8765] from the earthH776?
[12]And DavidH1732 commandedH6680[H8762] his young menH5288, and they slewH2026[H8799] them, and cut offH7112[H8762] their handsH3027 and their feetH7272, and hanged them upH8518[H8799] over the poolH1295 in HebronH2275. But they tookH3947[H8804] the headH7218 of IshboshethH378, and buriedH6912[H8799] it in the sepulchreH6913 of AbnerH74 in HebronH2275.
