2 Samuel 4
4
1And when Sha’ul’s [desired] son heard that Avner [my father is a lamp] was dead in Hevron [Seat of Association], his hands were feeble, and all the Yisra’eli’s were troubled.
2And Sha’ul’s [desired] son had two men [that were] captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Ba’anah [in affliction], and the name of the other Rekhav [rider], the sons of Rimmon [Pomegranate] a Be’erot [wells], of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] (for B’erot [Wells] also was reckoned to Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]:
3And the Be’erotim [wells] fled to Gittayim [two winepresses], and were sojourners there until this day.)
4And Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], Sha’ul’s [desired] son, had a son [that was] lame of [his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Sha’ul [desired] and Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] out of Yizre’el [God Sows], and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name [was] M’fivoshet [exterminating the idol].
5And the sons of Rimmon [Pomegranate] the Be’erot [wells], Rekhav [rider] and Ba’anah [in affliction], went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-Boshet [man of shame], who lay on a bed at noon.
6And they came there into the midst of the house, [as though] they would have fetched wheat; and they struck him under the fifth [rib]: and Rekhav [rider] and Ba’anah [in affliction] his brother escaped.
7For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they struck him, and killed him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and got them away through the plain all night.
8And they brought the head of Ish-Boshet [man of shame] unto David [beloved] to Hevron [Seat of Association], and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-Boshet [man of shame] the son of Sha’ul [desired] youri enemy, which sought youi life; and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has avenged my lord the king this day of Sha’ul [desired], and of his seed.
9And David [beloved] answered Rekhav [rider] and Ba’anah [in affliction] his brother, the sons of Rimmon [Pomegranate] the Be’erot [wells], and said unto them, [As] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10When one told me, saying, Behold, Sha’ul [desired] is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag [Winding], who [thought] that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
11How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12And David [beloved] commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up over the pool in Hevron [Seat of Association]. But they took the head of Ish-Boshet [man of shame], and buried [it] in the sepulcher of Avner [my father is a lamp] in Hevron [Seat of Association].
