Berean Standard Bible
And
the
son of Saul heareth
that Abner `is'
dead
in Hebron, and
his
hands
are
feeble
, and all Israel have
been
troubled
.
Now
when
Ish-bosheth
son of Saul heard
that Abner had
died
in Hebron, he
lost
courage
, and all Israel was
dismayed
.
And
two men ,
heads
of
troops,
have
been
`to'
the
son
of
Saul,
the
name
of the
one `is'
Baanah ,
and the name
of
the
second
Rechab ,
sons of Rimmon the Beerothite ,
of the sons
of Benjamin ,
for
also
Beeroth is reckoned
to
Benjamin,
Saul’s
son
had
two men who
were
leaders
of raiding
parties.
One was
named
Baanah and the other
Rechab ;
they
were
sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe
of Benjamin —
Beeroth is considered
part
of
Benjamin,
and
the Beerothites flee
to Gittaim ,
and are
there sojourners
unto
this day.
because
the Beerothites fled
to Gittaim and have
lived
there as
foreigners
to
this day.
And to
Jonathan son of Saul `is'
a son --
lame ;
he was a
son
of
five years at
the
coming
in
of
the
rumour
of
`
the death
of'
Saul and Jonathan ,
out
of
Jezreel ,
and
his nurse lifteth
him up ,
and fleeth
, and
it
cometh
to
pass
in
her
hasting
to flee
, that
he falleth,
and becometh
lame ,
and
his name `is'
Mephibosheth.
And Jonathan son of Saul had
a son who
was
lame in
his
feet.
He was five years old
when
the report
about
Saul and Jonathan came
from
Jezreel .
His nurse picked
him up and fled
, but
as
she
was
hurrying
to escape
, he fell
and became
lame .
His name was
Mephibosheth.
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab
and
Baanah,
go,
and come
in
at the heat
of
the
day
unto
the
house of Ish-Bosheth ,
and
he
is
lying
down
--
the lying
down
of noon;
Now
Rechab
and Baanah,
the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set
out
and arrived
at the house of Ish-bosheth in
the heat
of the
day,
while
the
king
was
taking
his
midday
nap.
and
thither
they have
come,
unto
the midst
of the house ,
taking
wheat, and they smite
him unto
the fifth
`rib',
and
Rechab and Baanah
his brother have
escaped;
They entered
the interior
of the house as
if
to
get
some
wheat, and they stabbed
him in
the stomach.
Then
Rechab and his brother Baanah
slipped
away.
yea,
they come
in
to
the house ,
and
he
is
lying on his bed, in
the
inner
part
of
his
bed-chamber,
and they
smite
him,
and put
him to
death
, and
turn
aside
his
head,
and
they take
his head, and go
the
way of the plain
all
the
night,
They had
entered
the house while
Ish-bosheth
was
lying on his bed, and having
stabbed
and killed
him, they beheaded
him,
took
his head, and traveled
all
night
by
way of the Arabah.
and
bring
in
the head of Ish-Bosheth unto
David in
Hebron ,
and say
unto
the king, `Lo,
the head of Ish-Bosheth ,
son of Saul, thine
enemy ,
who sought thy
life ;
and
Jehovah
doth
give
to my lord the king vengeance
this
day,
of
Saul and of
his seed
. '
They
brought
the head of Ish-bosheth to
David at
Hebron and said
to
the king, “Here
is
the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your
enemy who sought your
life .
Today
the
LORD
has
granted
vengeance
to my lord the king against
Saul and his offspring
. ”
And
David answereth
Rechab and Baanah
his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and
saith
to
them,
`Jehovah
liveth
, who hath
redeemed my soul
out
of
all adversity
,
But
David answered
Rechab and his brother Baanah
, the
sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As
surely
as
the
LORD
lives
, who has
redeemed my life
from
all distress
,
when one
is
declaring
to
me, saying,
Lo
, Saul is dead, and he was as
a bearer of tidings
in
his
own
eyes
, then
I take
hold
on
him ,
and slay
him in
Ziklag,
instead
of
my
giving
to him
`for'
the
tidings
.
when someone
told
me, ‘Look
, Saul is dead, ’
and thought
he was a bearer of good
news
, I seized
him and put
him to death
at
Ziklag
. That
was
his
reward
for
his
news!
Also
--
when wicked men have
slain
the
righteous man in his own house ,
on his bed ;
and
now
, do
not
I require his blood of
your hand,
and have
taken
you away
from the earth ?'
How
much
more,
when wicked men kill
a
righteous man in his own house and
on his own
bed, shall
I not
now
require his blood from
your hands
and remove
you from the earth !”
And
David commandeth
the
young men, and they slay
them,
and cut off their hands and their
feet ,
and hang
`them'
over
the pool in Hebron, and
the head of Ish-Bosheth they
have
taken,
and bury
`
it '
in the
burying-place
of
Abner
in Hebron.
So
David commanded
his
young men, and they killed
Rechab
and Baanah.
They
cut off their hands and feet and hung
their
bodies
by
the pool in Hebron, but
they
took
the head of Ish-bosheth and buried
it in Abner’s
tomb
in Hebron.
