伊施波設被殺
4 掃羅的兒子伊施波設聽到押尼珥死在希伯崙，嚇得手腳發軟，整個以色列都震驚不已。 2 那時，掃羅的兒子有兩個帶兵的將領，一個叫巴拿，一個叫利甲，他們是來自比錄的便雅憫人臨門的兒子。 3 原來的比錄人逃到基他音，寄居在那裡，直到今日。
4 掃羅的兒子約拿單有個兒子叫米非波設，雙腿是瘸的。掃羅和約拿單在耶斯列陣亡的時候，他才五歲。乳娘抱著他倉皇逃命，不慎把他掉在地上，摔成了瘸子。
5 一天，伊施波設正在午睡，臨門的兩個兒子利甲和巴拿來到他家。 6-7 他們裝作是來取麥子，進入伊施波設的寢室，趁他正躺在床上熟睡，用刀刺透他的肚子殺了他，割下他的首級，拿著連夜穿過亞拉巴逃跑了。 8 他們把伊施波設的首級帶到希伯崙獻給大衛王，說：「這便是掃羅的兒子伊施波設的首級。掃羅是你的仇敵，曾試圖殺害你，今天耶和華為我主我王懲罰了掃羅和他的子孫。」 9 大衛對比錄人臨門的兒子利甲及其兄弟巴拿說：「我憑救我脫離一切危難的永活的耶和華起誓， 10 在洗革拉曾有人向我報信說掃羅死了，他以為是來報喜訊，我抓住他，把他殺了。那就是我給他的報酬。 11 更何況你們這些惡徒在這個無辜人的家裡把他殺死在床上，我怎能不向你們討這血債，把你們從世上除掉？」 12 於是，大衛命令部下殺了他們，斬斷他們的手腳，把屍體掛在希伯崙的池旁。他們把伊施波設的頭顱葬在希伯崙 押尼珥的墳墓裡。

伊施波設被刺殺
4 掃羅的兒子伊施波設聽見押尼珥在希伯崙死了，就怕得手都發軟，以色列眾人也都驚惶失措。 2 掃羅的兒子伊施波設有兩個統率突擊隊的將領，一個名叫巴拿，一個名叫利甲，他們是便雅憫支派比錄人臨門的兒子。（比錄也算是便雅憫的一部分。 3 比錄人原先逃到基他音，就在那裡寄居，直到今日。）
4 掃羅的兒子約拿單有一個兒子，雙腿都跛了。掃羅和約拿單死亡的消息從耶斯列傳到的時候，他才五歲。他的乳母抱著他逃跑。乳母在慌忙中逃跑，孩子掉了下來，腿就瘸了。他的名字叫米非波設。
5 比錄人臨門的兒子利甲和巴拿出去，約在正午炎熱的時候，來到了伊施波設的家。伊施波設正在睡午覺。 6 他們進了屋裡，假裝要拿麥子，就刺透伊施波設的肚腹，然後利甲和他的兄弟巴拿都逃脫了。 7 他們進屋子的時候，伊施波設正在自己的臥室裡躺在床上，他們刺透他，把他殺死，然後割下他的頭，拿著頭顱在亞拉巴的路上走了一夜， 8 把伊施波設的頭帶到希伯崙去見大衛，對王說：“你的仇敵掃羅過去常常尋索你的命。看哪！這是他兒子伊施波設的頭。今天耶和華在掃羅和他後裔的身上為我主我王報了仇了。”
大衛嚴懲刺殺伊施波設的人
9 大衛回答比錄人臨門的兒子利甲和他的兄弟巴拿，說：“我指著那曾救贖我的命脫離一切患難的永活的耶和華起誓： 10 從前有人向我報信說：‘看哪！掃羅死了。’他自以為是報好消息，我卻抓住他，把他殺在洗革拉，這就是我給他作報好消息的酬報。 11 何況惡人在義人的家裡，把義人殺在床上。現在我怎能不從你們手中追討流他血的罪，把你們從這世上除滅呢？” 12 於是，大衛吩咐年輕人把他們殺了，並且砍斷他們的手腳，把身體掛在希伯崙的水池旁邊；卻把伊施波設的頭拿去，埋葬在希伯崙押尼珥的墳墓裡。

The Assassination of Ish-bosheth
4 When Saul’s son Ish-bosheth heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his courage failed, and all Israel was dismayed. 2 Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties: one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the Benjaminites. Beeroth is also considered part of Benjamin, 3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and still live there as foreigners to this very day.
4 Saul’s son Jonathan had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. The one who had nursed him[a] picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.(A)
5 Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at Ish-bosheth’s house during the heat of the day while the king was taking his midday nap. 6 They entered the interior of the house as if to get wheat and stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah escaped. 7 They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed in his bedroom and stabbed and killed him. Then they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled by way of the Arabah(B) all night. 8 They brought Ish-bosheth’s head to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here’s the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who intended to take your life. Today the Lord has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As the Lord lives, the One who has redeemed my life from every distress,(C) 10 when the person told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ he thought he was a bearer of good news, but I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag.(D) That was my reward to him for his news! 11 How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house on his own bed! So now, should I not require his blood from your hands and wipe you off the earth?”(E)
12 So David gave orders to the 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 Ish-bosheth’s head and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.(F)
