The IIII. Chapter.
A Whan Sauls sonne herde þt; Abner
was deed at Hebron, his h&abar;des were
feble, ∧ all Israell was sory. But
there were two men captaynes ouer the soudyers
vnder the sonne of Saul, the one was
called Baena, the other Rehob, sonnes of
Rimon þe; Berothite, of the childr&ebar; of Ben
Iamin: for Beroth was co&ubar;ted also in Ben
Iamin. And the Berothites were fled vnto
Gethaim, ∧ were stra&ubar;gers there vnto this
daye. Ionathas also the sonne of Saul had
a sonne which was lame on his fete, ∧ was
fyue yeare olde whan the rumoure of Saul
and Ionathas came from Iesrael. And his
norse toke him, and fled. And whyle she made
haist and fled, he fell, and was lame: And
his name was Mephiboseth.
B Then wente the sonnes of Rimon þe; Berothite,
Rehob ∧ Baena, ∧ came to the house
of I&esset;boseth, in the heate of the daye, ∧ he
laye vp&obar; his bed at the noone daie. And they
came in to the house to fetch wheate, ∧ thrust
him in the bely, ∧ gat them awaye. For wh&abar;
they came into þe; house, he laye vp&obar; his bed
in his chamber, ∧ they stickte him to death, ∧
smote of his heade, and toke his heade, and
departed by the waye of the playne felde all
that nighte, and broughte the heade of Isboseth
to Dauid vnto Hebron, and sayde vnto
the kynge: Beholde, there is the heade of
I&esset;boseth the sonne of Saul thine enemye,
which layed wayte for thy soule. This daye
hath the LORDE auenged my lorde the kynge
of Saul and his sede.
C Then answered Dauid vnto Rehob and
Baena his brother, þe; sonnes of Rimon þe;
Berothite, ∧ sayde: As truly as the LORDE
lyueth, which hath deliuered my soule out of
all trouble, note I toke him þt; brought me worde
and sayde: Saul is deed, and he thoughte
he had bene a good messaunger, and at Siclag
I put him to death, vnto whom I shulde
haue geuen a rewarde for his message.
And these vngodly personnes haue slayne a
righteous man in his owne house vpon his
bed. Yee shulde not I requyre his bloude of
youre handes, and take you awaye from þe;
earth? And Dauid commaunded his yonge
men, which slewe them, and smote of their
handes and fete, and hanged them vp by þe;
pole at Hebron. But the heade of I&esset;boseth
toke they, and buried it note in Abners graue at
Hebron.
