Ish-bosheth Put to Death
4 Then [a]Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son heard that (A)Abner had died in Hebron. And [b](B)he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed. 2 Now Saul’s son had two men who were commanders of bands: the name of the one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin (for (C)Beeroth is also considered (D)part of Benjamin, 3 and the Beerothites fled to (E)Gittaim and have been sojourners there until this day).
4 Now (F)Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the (G)report of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened that in her hurry to flee, he fell and became lame. And his name was [c](H)Mephibosheth.
5 So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went forth and came to the house of (I)Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day while he was taking his midday rest. 6 [d]They came to the middle of the house as [e]if to get wheat, and (J)they struck him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 7 Thus they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they struck him and put him to death and beheaded him. And they took his head and (K)went on the way leading to the Arabah all night. 8 Then they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ish-bosheth (L)the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; thus Yahweh has given my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul and his seed.”
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Yahweh lives, (M)who has redeemed my life from all distress, 10 (N)when one told me, saying, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and [f]thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in 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 (O)require his blood from your hand and purge you from the earth?” 12 Then (P)David commanded the young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hung them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth (Q)and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.

Убийство Иш-Бошета
4 Когда сын Шаула Иш-Бошет услышал о том, что Авнер умер в Хевроне, он пал духом, и весь Исраил охватила тревога. 2 У Иш-Бошета, сына Шаула, было два человека, которые водили воинов в набеги. Одного звали Баана, а другого – Рехав. Они были сыновьями беэротянина Риммона из рода Вениамина. Беэрот считается владением Вениамина, 3 потому что жители Беэрота бежали в Гиттаим. Они остались там чужеземцами по сегодняшний день.
4 (У Ионафана, сына Шаула, был сын, хромой на обе ноги. Ему было пять лет, когда из Изрееля пришла весть о Шауле и Ионафане. Его нянька схватила его и побежала, но бежала так быстро, что он упал и охромел. Его звали Мефи-Бошет.)
5 Итак, Рехав и Баана, сыновья беэротянина Риммона, пошли к дому Иш-Бошета и пришли туда в жаркое время дня, когда он спал во время полуденного отдыха. 6 Они вошли внутрь дома, как бы для того, чтобы взять пшеницы, и мечом поразили его в живот. После этого Рехав и его брат скрылись.
7 (Они вошли в дом, когда он лежал на постели в своей спальне. Поразив и убив его, они отрубили ему голову, и, взяв её с собой, всю ночь шли по дороге, что ведёт через иорданскую долину.) 8 Они принесли голову Иш-Бошета к Давуду в Хеврон и сказали царю:
– Вот голова Иш-Бошета, сына Шаула, твоего врага, пытавшегося лишить тебя жизни. Сегодня Вечный отомстил Шаулу и его потомству за господина моего царя.
9 Давуд ответил Рехаву и его брату Баане, сыновьям беэротянина Риммона:
– Верно, как и то, что жив Вечный, Который избавил меня от всякой беды, – 10 когда один человек сказал мне: «Шаул мёртв», думая, что принёс хорошую новость, я схватил его и предал его смерти в Циклаге. Вот награда, которую я дал ему за его новость! 11 Что же теперь, когда разбойники убили невиновного человека в его собственном доме и на его собственной постели, неужели я не взыщу с вас за его кровь и не избавлю от вас землю!
12 Давуд отдал своим людям приказ, и они убили их. Они отрубили им руки и ноги и повесили тела у пруда в Хевроне. А голову Иш-Бошета они взяли и погребли в гробнице Авнера в Хевроне.
2 Samuel 4
New International Version
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.
