Then Rechab and his brother Baanah escaped. 7 After entering the house while Ishbosheth was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, and cut off his head. Taking his head with them, they traveled along the road through the Arabah all night. 8 They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, "Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has given my lord the king revenge against Saul and his descendants." 9 David answered Rechab and Baanah, his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from every trouble... 10 When someone told me, 'Saul is dead,' thinking he was bringing me good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag. That was the reward I gave him for his news. 11 How much more, then, when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed! Should I not now demand his blood from your hand and remove you from the earth? 12 So David commanded his young men, and they killed them. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner's tomb in Hebron.
