CHAP. IIII.
5 Baanah and Rechab slay Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul. 12
Dauid commandeth them to be slaine.
1 And when Sauls note sonne heard that Abner
was dead in Hebron, then his handes were
note feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
2 And Sauls sonne had two men that were
captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and
the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon
a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for
note Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
3 Because the Beerothites fled to note Gittaim,
and soiourned there, vnto this day).
4 And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne
that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde
when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out
of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde
away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe
fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth.
5 And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite,
Rechab and Baanah went and came in the
heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who
slept on a bed at noone)
6 And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his
brother came into the middes of the house as
they note would haue wheate, and they note smote him
vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
7 For when they came into the house, he
slept on his bed in his bed chamber, & they smote
him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke
his head, and gate them away through the note plaine
all the night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth
vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King,
Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne
thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the
Lorde hath auenged my lorde the King this day
of Saul, and of his seede.
9 Then Dauid answered Rechab & Baanah
his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite,
and saide vnto them, As the Lorde liueth,
who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
10 When one note tolde me, and sayde that Saul
was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings)
I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who
thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde
for his tidings:
11 How note much more, when wicked men haue
slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and
-- --
Dauid made king ouer all Israel.
vpon his bed? shal I not now therfore require his
blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
12 Then Dauid commanded his yong men, &
they slew them, and cut off their hands and their
feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron:
but they tooke the head of Ish-bosheth, &
buried it in the sepulchre of note Abner in Hebron.
