4 Er Ísbóset sonur Sáls frétti, að Abner væri dauður í Hebron, féllust honum hendur, og allur Ísrael varð óttasleginn.
2 Ísbóset sonur Sáls hafði tvo menn hjá sér, foringja fyrir ránsflokkum. Hét annar þeirra Baana, en hinn Rekab. Þeir voru synir Rimmóns frá Beerót, af kynþætti Benjamíns, því að Beerót telst með Benjamín.
3 En Beerótbúar voru flúnir til Gittaím, og hafa þeir verið þar sem hjábýlingar fram á þennan dag.
4 Jónatan, sonur Sáls, átti son lama á báðum fótum. Hann var fimm vetra gamall, þegar fregnin kom um Sál og Jónatan frá Jesreel. Þá tók fóstra hans hann og flýði, en í ofboðinu, er hún flýði, féll hann og varð lami. Hann hét Mefíbóset.
5 Synir Rimmóns frá Beerót, þeir Rekab og Baana, lögðu af stað og komu, þá er heitast var dags, í hús Ísbósets. Hafði hann þá lagt sig um miðdegið.
6 En stúlkan, sem dyranna gætti, hafði verið að hreinsa hveiti, og hafði hana syfjað og var hún sofandi. Þeir Rekab og Baana bróðir hans læddust því inn.
7 Og er þeir komu inn í húsið, þá lá Ísbóset í hvílu sinni í svefnhúsi sínu. En þeir báru vopn á hann og unnu á honum og hjuggu af honum höfuðið. Því næst tóku þeir höfuð hans og héldu áfram alla nóttina veginn yfir Jórdandalinn.
8 Og þeir færðu Davíð í Hebron höfuðið af Ísbóset og mæltu við konunginn: "Hér er höfuð Ísbósets, sonar Sáls, óvinar þíns, sem sat um líf þitt. Drottinn hefir nú látið herra mínum, konunginum, verða hefndar auðið á Sál og niðjum hans."
9 Davíð svaraði Rekab og Baana bróður hans, þeim sonum Rimmóns frá Beerót, og mælti til þeirra: "Svo sannarlega sem Drottinn lifir, sá er frelsað hefir líf mitt úr öllum nauðum:
10 Þann mann, sem færði mér tíðindin: ,Sjá, Sál er dauður!` og hugðist færa mér gleðitíðindi, hann lét ég handtaka og drepa í Siklag og galt honum þann veg sögulaunin.
11 Og þegar illir menn nú hafa myrt saklausan mann í hvílu sinni í hans eigin húsi, skyldi ég þá ekki miklu fremur krefjast blóðs hans af ykkar hendi og afmá ykkur af jörðinni?"
12 Síðan bauð Davíð sveinum sínum að drepa þá. Þeir gjörðu svo og hjuggu af þeim hendur og fætur og hengdu þá upp hjá tjörninni í Hebron. En höfuð Ísbósets tóku þeir og jörðuðu það í gröf Abners í Hebron.

Ish-Bosheth Murdered
4 When Ish-Bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner(A) had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel became alarmed. 2 Now Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding bands. One was named Baanah and the other Rekab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth(B) is considered part of Benjamin, 3 because the people of Beeroth fled to Gittaim(C) and have resided there as foreigners to this day.
4 (Jonathan(D) son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news(E) about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she hurried to leave, he fell and became disabled.(F) His name was Mephibosheth.)(G)
5 Now Rekab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out for the house of Ish-Bosheth,(H) and they arrived there in the heat of the day while he was taking his noonday rest.(I) 6 They went into the inner part of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed(J) him in the stomach. Then Rekab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
7 They had gone into the house while he was lying on the bed in his bedroom. After they stabbed and killed him, they cut off his head. Taking it with them, they traveled all night by way of the Arabah.(K) 8 They brought the head(L) of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul,(M) your enemy, who tried to kill you. This day the Lord has avenged(N) my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
9 David answered Rekab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered(O) me out of every trouble, 10 when someone told me, ‘Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and put him to death in Ziklag.(P) That was the reward I gave him for his news! 11 How much more—when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed—should I not now demand his blood(Q) from your hand and rid the earth of you!”
12 So David gave an order to his men, and they killed them.(R) They cut off their hands and feet and hung the bodies by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-Bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb at Hebron.
