1  And when Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son¹¹²¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Abner⁷⁴ was dead⁴¹⁹¹ in Hebron,²²⁷⁵ his hands³⁰²⁷ were feeble,⁷⁵⁰³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ were troubled.⁹²⁶

2  And Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son¹¹²¹ had¹⁹⁶¹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ men³⁷⁶ that were captains⁸²⁶⁹ of bands:¹⁴¹⁶ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the one²⁵⁹ was Baanah,¹¹⁹⁶ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the other⁸¹⁴⁵ Rechab,⁷³⁹⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ a Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ of the children^{4480 1121} of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ (for³⁵⁸⁸ Beeroth⁸⁸¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ was reckoned²⁸⁰³ to⁵⁹²¹ Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴

3  And the Beerothites⁸⁸⁶ fled¹²⁷² to Gittaim,¹⁶⁶⁴ and were¹⁹⁶¹ sojourners¹⁴⁸¹ there⁸⁰³³ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.)³¹¹⁷

4  And Jonathan,³⁰⁸³ Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ son,¹¹²¹ had a son¹¹²¹ that was lame⁵²²³ of his feet.⁷²⁷² He was¹⁹⁶¹ five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when the tidings⁸⁰⁵² came⁹³⁵ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ out of Jezreel,^{4480 3157} and his nurse⁵³⁹ took him up,⁵³⁷⁵ and fled:⁵¹²⁷ and it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as she made haste²⁶⁴⁸ to flee,⁵¹²⁷ that he fell,⁵³⁰⁷ and became lame.⁶⁴⁵² And his name⁸⁰³⁴ was Mephibosheth.⁴⁶⁴⁸

5  And the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ the Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah,¹¹⁶⁵ went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and came⁹³⁵ about the heat²⁵²⁷ of the day³¹¹⁷ to⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ish-bosheth,³⁷⁸ who¹⁹³¹ lay⁷⁹⁰¹ on ⁸⁵³ a bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ at noon.⁶⁶⁷²

6  And they came⁹³⁵ thither²⁰⁰⁸ into⁵⁷⁰⁴ the midst⁸⁴³² of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ as though they would have fetched³⁹⁴⁷ wheat;²⁴⁰⁶ and they smote⁵²²¹ him under⁴¹³ the fifth²⁵⁷⁰ rib: and Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah¹¹⁹⁶ his brother²⁵¹ escaped.⁴⁴²²

7  For when they came⁹³⁵ into the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he¹⁹³¹ lay⁷⁹⁰¹ on⁵⁹²¹ his bed⁴²⁹⁶ in his bedchamber,^{2315 4904} and they smote⁵²²¹ him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him, and beheaded^{5493 853 7218} him, and took^{3947 853} his head,⁷²¹⁸ and got them away¹⁹⁸⁰ through¹⁸⁷⁰ the plain⁶¹⁶⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ night.³⁹¹⁵

8  And they brought^{935 853} the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ish-bosheth³⁷⁸ unto⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² to Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ish-bosheth³⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ thine enemy,³⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ sought^{1245 853} thy life;⁵³¹⁵ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath avenged^{5414 5360} my lord¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ of Saul,^{4480 7586} and of his seed.^{4480 2233}

9  And David¹⁷³² answered^{6030 853} Rechab⁷³⁹⁴ and Baanah¹¹⁹⁶ his brother,²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Rimmon⁷⁴¹⁷ the Beerothite,⁸⁸⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ who⁸³⁴ hath redeemed^{6299 853} my soul⁵³¹⁵ out of all^{4480 3605} adversity,⁶⁸⁶⁹

10  When³⁵⁸⁸ one told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ thinking⁵⁸⁶⁹ to have¹⁹⁶¹ brought good tidings,¹³¹⁹ I took hold²⁷⁰ of him, and slew²⁰²⁶ him in Ziklag,⁶⁸⁶⁰ who⁸³⁴ thought that I would have given⁵⁴¹⁴ him a reward for his tidings:¹³⁰⁹

11  How much more,⁶³⁷ when³⁵⁸⁸ wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men³⁷⁶ have slain^{2026 853} a righteous⁶⁶⁶² person³⁷⁶ in his own house¹⁰⁰⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ his bed?⁴⁹⁰⁴ shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ therefore now⁶²⁵⁸ require^{1245 853} his blood¹⁸¹⁸ of your hand,^{4480 3027} and take you away^{1197 853} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the earth?⁷⁷⁶

12  And David¹⁷³² commanded^{6680 853} his young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and they slew²⁰²⁶ them, and cut off^{7112 853} their hands³⁰²⁷ and their feet,⁷²⁷² and hanged them up⁸⁵¹⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ the pool¹²⁹⁵ in Hebron.²²⁷⁵ But they took³⁹⁴⁷ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Ish-bosheth,³⁷⁸ and buried⁶⁹¹² it in the sepulcher⁶⁹¹³ of Abner⁷⁴ in Hebron.²²⁷⁵

1 καὶ ἤκουσεν Μεμφιβοσθε υἱὸς Σαουλ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Αβεννηρ ἐν Χεβρων καὶ ἐξελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες Ισραηλ παρείθησαν

2 καὶ δύο ἄνδρες ἡγούμενοι συστρεμμάτων τῷ Μεμφιβοσθε υἱῷ Σαουλ ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βαανα καὶ ὄνομα τῷ δευτέρῳ Ρηχαβ υἱοὶ Ρεμμων τοῦ Βηρωθαίου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν ὅτι Βηρωθ ἐλογίζετο τοῖς υἱοῖς Βενιαμιν

3 καὶ ἀπέδρασαν οἱ Βηρωθαῖοι εἰς Γεθθαιμ καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ παροικοῦντες ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

4 καὶ τῷ Ιωναθαν υἱῷ Σαουλ υἱὸς πεπληγὼς τοὺς πόδας υἱὸς ἐτῶν πέντε οὗτος ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τὴν ἀγγελίαν Σαουλ καὶ Ιωναθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐξ Ιεζραελ καὶ ἦρεν αὐτὸν ἡ τιθηνὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγεν καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπεύδειν αὐτὴν καὶ ἀναχωρεῖν καὶ ἔπεσεν καὶ ἐχωλάνθη καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μεμφιβοσθε

5 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν υἱοὶ Ρεμμων τοῦ Βηρωθαίου Ρεκχα καὶ Βαανα καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς οἶκον Μεμφιβοσθε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθευδεν ἐν τῇ κοίτῃ τῆς μεσημβρίας

6 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυρωρὸς τοῦ οἴκου ἐκάθαιρεν πυροὺς καὶ ἐνύσταξεν καὶ ἐκάθευδεν καὶ Ρεκχα καὶ Βαανα οἱ ἀδελφοὶ διέλαθον

7 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ Μεμφιβοσθε ἐκάθευδεν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κοιτῶνι αὐτοῦ καὶ τύπτουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ θανατοῦσιν καὶ ἀφαιροῦσιν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῆλθον ὁδὸν τὴν κατὰ δυσμὰς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα

8 καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὴν κεφαλὴν Μεμφιβοσθε τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς Χεβρων καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἰδοὺ ἡ κεφαλὴ Μεμφιβοσθε υἱοῦ Σαουλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου ὃς ἐζήτει τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ βασιλεῖ ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἐκ Σαουλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ

9 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυιδ τῷ Ρεκχα καὶ τῷ Βαανα ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ υἱοῖς Ρεμμων τοῦ Βηρωθαίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ζῇ κύριος ὃς ἐλυτρώσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως

10 ὅτι ὁ ἀπαγγείλας μοι ὅτι τέθνηκεν Σαουλ καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ὡς εὐαγγελιζόμενος ἐνώπιόν μου καὶ κατέσχον αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκτεινα ἐν Σεκελακ ᾧ ἔδει με δοῦναι εὐαγγέλια

11 καὶ νῦν ἄνδρες πονηροὶ ἀπεκτάγκασιν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ καὶ νῦν ἐκζητήσω τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς γῆς

12 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Δαυιδ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποκτέννουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κολοβοῦσιν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκρέμασαν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς κρήνης ἐν Χεβρων καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Μεμφιβοσθε ἔθαψαν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Αβεννηρ υἱοῦ Νηρ

1 Audivit autem Isboseth filius Saul quod cecidisset Abner in Hebron: et dissolutæ sunt manus ejus, omnisque Israël perturbatus est.

2 Duo autem viri principes latronum erant filio Saul, nomen uni Baana, et nomen alteri Rechab, filii Remmon Berothitæ de filiis Benjamin: siquidem et Beroth reputata est in Benjamin.

3 Et fugerunt Berothitæ in Gethaim, fueruntque ibi advenæ usque ad tempus illud.

4 Erat autem Jonathæ filio Saul filius debilis pedibus: quinquennis enim fuit, quando venit nuntius de Saul et Jonatha ex Jezrahel. Tollens itaque eum nutrix sua, fugit: cumque festinaret ut fugeret, cecidit, et claudus effectus est: habuitque vocabulum Miphiboseth.

5 Venientes igitur filii Remmon Berothitæ, Rechab et Baana, ingressi sunt fervente die domum Isboseth: qui dormiebat super stratum suum meridie. Et ostiaria domus purgans triticum, obdormivit.

6 Ingressi sunt autem domum latenter assumentes spicas tritici, et percusserunt eum in inguine Rechab, et Baana frater ejus, et fugerunt.

7 Cum autem ingressi fuissent domum, ille dormiebat super lectum suum in conclavi, et percutientes interfecerunt eum: sublatoque capite ejus, abierunt per viam deserti tota nocte,

8 et attulerunt caput Isboseth ad David in Hebron: dixeruntque ad regem: Ecce caput Isboseth filii Saul inimici tui, qui quærebat animam tuam: et dedit Dominus domino meo regi ultionem hodie de Saul, et de semine ejus.

9 Respondens autem David Rechab, et Baana fratri ejus, filiis Remmon Berothitæ, dixit ad eos: Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia,

10 quoniam eum qui annuntiaverat mihi, et dixerat: Mortuus est Saul: qui putabat se prospera nuntiare, tenui, et occidi eum in Siceleg, cui oportebat mercedem dare pro nuntio.

11 Quanto magis nunc cum homines impii interfecerunt virum innoxium in domo sua, super lectum suum, non quæram sanguinem ejus de manu vestra, et auferam vos de terra?

12 Præcepit itaque David pueris suis, et interfecerunt eos: præcidentesque manus et pedes eorum, suspenderunt eos super piscinam in Hebron: caput autem Isboseth tulerunt, et sepelierunt in sepulchro Abner in Hebron.
