Chap. IIII.
Baana and Rechab secretly kil Isboseth: 8. bring his head to Dauid. 9. who
condemning their fact, putteth them to death.
1 And Isboseth the sonne of Saul heard that Abner was
slaine in Hebron: and his handes were weakened, and
al Israel was trubled.
2 And the sonne of Saul had two men
captaynes of robbers, the name of one Baana, and the name
of the other Rechab, the sonnes of Rhemmon the Berothite
-- --
Dauid.
of the sonnes of Beniamin: for Beroth also was accounted in
Beniamin.
3 And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and
were there strangers vntil that time.
4 And Ionathas the
sonne of Saul had a sonne lame in his feete: for he was fiue
yeares old, when the tydinges came of Saul and Ionathas
from Iezrahel. his nurse therefore taking him, fled: and when
she made hast to flee, he fel, and was made lame: and he was
called Miphiboseth.
5 Therefore the sonnes of Rhemmon
the Berothite, Rachab and Baana coming, entered into the
house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: who slept vpon his
bed at noone.
6 And they entered into the house secretely
taking eares of corne, and Rechab and Baana his brother,
stroke him in priuy partes and fled.
7 And when they were
entred into the house, he slept vpon his bed in a parler, and
striking they killed him: and taking away his head they went
by the way of the desert al night.
8 And brought the head of
Isboseth to Dauid into Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold
the head of Isboseth the sonne of Saul thine enemie
who sought thy life: and our Lord hath geuen my lord the
king this day reuenge of Saul, and of his seede.
9 But Dauid
answering Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sonnes of
Rhemmon the Berothite, and sayd to them: our Lord liueth,
which hath deliuered my soule out of al distresse,
10 for so much
as him that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought that
he told prosperous thinges, I apprehended, and slewe him
in Siceleg, to whom I should haue geuen a reward for his tydinges.
11 How much more now when wicked men haue slaine
an innocent man in his owne house, vpon his bed, shal I not
require his bloud of your hand, and take you away from the
earth?
12 Dauid therefore commanded his seruantes, and they
slew them, and cutting of their hands and feete, hanged them
ouer the poole in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they
tooke, and buried in the sepulcher of Abner in Hebron.
