• 2 Sam 4:2-9 : 2 And Saul's son had two men who were captains of bands: the name of 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 have lived there as strangers until this day. 4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and as she hurried to flee, he fell, and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth. 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came during the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was lying on a bed at noon. 6 And they came there into the midst of the house, as though they were fetching wheat; and they struck him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 7 For when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber, and they struck him, and killed him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went away through the plain all night. 8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his descendants. 9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 10 When someone told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking he was bringing good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his news. 11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Shall I not therefore now require his blood from your hand, and remove you from the earth? 12 And David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the tomb of Abner in Hebron.
