Pinatay si Isboset
4 Nang malaman ni Isboset na si Abner ay pinatay sa Hebron, pinagharian siya ng takot, pati ang buong Israel. 2 Noo'y may dalawa siyang pinuno sa pagsalakay, sina Baana at Recab. Sila'y mga anak ni Rimon na taga-Beerot at mula sa lipi ni Benjamin. Ang Beerot ay dating sakop ng Benjamin, 3 ngunit ang mga tagaroon ay tumakas at nagpunta sa Gitaim at doon na nanirahan.
4 Isa(A) pa sa mga apo ni Saul ay si Mefiboset na anak ni Jonatan. Limang taon siya noon nang mapatay sa Jezreel sina Saul at Jonatan. Nang dumating ang malagim na balita, dinampot siya ng tagapag-alaga upang itakas. Ngunit sa pagmamadali ay nabitawan siya at iyon ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkalumpo.
5 Isang tanghali, sina Recab at Baana ay pumasok sa tahanan ni Isboset samantalang ito'y namamahinga. 6 Hindi sila namalayang pumasok sapagkat ang babaing bantay-pinto ay nakatulog dahil sa pagod sa paglilinis ng trigo.[a] 7 Kaya't tuluy-tuloy sila sa silid ni Isboset at pinatay nila habang ito'y natutulog. Pinutol nila ang kanyang ulo saka sila tumakas. Magdamag silang naglakbay sa lupain ng Araba patungo sa Hebron. 8 Dinala nila ang ulo ni Isboset kay David at ang sabi rito, “Narito ang ulo ng anak ni Saul, ang nagtangka sa iyong buhay. Ipinaghiganti ngayon ni Yahweh ang inyong kadakilaan!”
9 Sumagot na may sumpa si David sa magkapatid na Recab at Baana, “Saksi si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy,[b] at tumulong sa akin sa lahat kong kagipitan. 10 Hinuli(B) ko at pinatay sa Ziklag ang taong nagbalita sa aking patay si Saul sa pag-aakalang matutuwa ako sa balitang iyon. 11 Gaano pa kaya ang aking gagawin sa mga taong pumatay sa walang malay na natutulog sa sariling tahanan! Hindi kaya dapat kayong lipulin sa daigdig na ito dahil sa ginawa ninyong iyan?” 12 Kaya't iniutos ni David na sila'y patayin at ganoon nga ang ginawa ng mga kawal. Pinutol nila ang mga kamay at paa ng magkapatid at ibinitin sa may lawa sa Hebron. Ang ulo naman ni Isboset ay dinala sa Hebron at isinama sa libingan ni Abner.

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.
