撒母耳记下 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
伊施波设被杀
4 扫罗的儿子伊施波设听到押尼珥死在希伯仑,吓得手脚发软,整个以色列都震惊不已。 2 那时,扫罗的儿子有两个带兵的将领,一个叫巴拿,一个叫利甲,他们是来自比录的便雅悯人临门的儿子。 3 原来的比录人逃到基他音,寄居在那里,直到今日。
4 扫罗的儿子约拿单有个儿子叫米非波设,双腿是瘸的。扫罗和约拿单在耶斯列阵亡的时候,他才五岁。乳娘抱着他仓皇逃命,不慎把他掉在地上,摔成了瘸子。
5 一天,伊施波设正在午睡,临门的两个儿子利甲和巴拿来到他家。 6-7 他们装作是来取麦子,进入伊施波设的寝室,趁他正躺在床上熟睡,用刀刺透他的肚子杀了他,割下他的首级,拿着连夜穿过亚拉巴逃跑了。 8 他们把伊施波设的首级带到希伯仑献给大卫王,说:“这便是扫罗的儿子伊施波设的首级。扫罗是你的仇敌,曾试图杀害你,今天耶和华为我主我王惩罚了扫罗和他的子孙。” 9 大卫对比录人临门的儿子利甲及其兄弟巴拿说:“我凭救我脱离一切危难的永活的耶和华起誓, 10 在洗革拉曾有人向我报信说扫罗死了,他以为是来报喜讯,我抓住他,把他杀了。那就是我给他的报酬。 11 更何况你们这些恶徒在这个无辜人的家里把他杀死在床上,我怎能不向你们讨这血债,把你们从世上除掉?” 12 于是,大卫命令部下杀了他们,斩断他们的手脚,把尸体挂在希伯仑的池旁。他们把伊施波设的头颅葬在希伯仑 押尼珥的坟墓里。
2 Samuel 4
English Standard Version
Ish-bosheth Murdered
4 When Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, heard that Abner had died at Hebron, (A)his courage failed, and all Israel was dismayed. 2 Now Saul's son had two men who were captains of raiding bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon a man of Benjamin from Beeroth ((B)for Beeroth also is counted part of Benjamin; 3 (C)the Beerothites fled (D)to Gittaim and have been sojourners there to this day).
4 (E)Jonathan, the son of Saul, had a son who was crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan (F)came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled, and as she fled in her haste, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
5 Now the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, set out, and about the heat of the day they came to the house of Ish-bosheth as he was taking his noonday rest. 6 And they came into the midst of the house as if to get wheat, and they stabbed him (G)in the stomach. Then Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.[a] 7 When they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and put him to death and beheaded him. They took his head and went by the way of (H)the Arabah all night, 8 and brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron. And they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, (I)who sought your life. The Lord has avenged my lord the king this day on Saul and on his offspring.” 9 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, (J)“As the Lord lives, (K)who has redeemed my life out of every adversity, 10 (L)when one told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, (M)I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news. 11 How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now (N)require his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth?” 12 And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged them beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it (O)in the tomb of Abner at Hebron.

2 Samuel 4
New King James Version
Ishbosheth Is Murdered
4 When Saul’s [a]son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, (A)he[b] lost heart, and all Israel was (B)troubled. 2 Now Saul’s son had two men who were captains of troops. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin. (For (C)Beeroth also was [c]part of Benjamin, 3 because the Beerothites fled to (D)Gittaim and have been sojourners there until this day.)
4 (E)Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came (F)from Jezreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell and became lame. His name was (G)Mephibosheth.[d]
5 Then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, set out and came at about the heat of the day to the (H)house of Ishbosheth, who was lying on his bed at noon. 6 And they came there, all the way into the house, as though to get wheat, and they [e]stabbed him (I)in the stomach. Then Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 7 For when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedroom; then they struck him and killed him, beheaded him and took his head, and were all night escaping through the plain. 8 And 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, (J)who sought your life; and the Lord has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants.”
9 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the Lord lives, (K)who has redeemed my life from all adversity, 10 when (L)someone told me, saying, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag—the one who thought I would give him a reward for his news. 11 How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now (M)require his [f]blood at your hand and [g]remove you from the earth?” 12 So David (N)commanded his young men, and they executed them, cut off their hands and feet, and hanged them by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the (O)tomb of Abner in Hebron.
