2 Samuel 4
1 And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide,
扫罗的儿子伊施波设听见押尼珥死在希伯 ，手就发软；以色列众人也都惊惶。
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 Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin,
扫罗的儿子伊施波设有两个军长，一名巴拿，一名利甲，是便雅悯支派、比录人临门的儿子。比录也属便雅悯。
3 Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day).
比录人早先逃到基他音，在那里寄居，直到今日。
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.
扫罗的儿子约拿单有一个儿子名叫米非波设，是瘸腿的。扫罗和约拿单死亡的消息从耶斯列传到的时候，他才五岁。他乳母抱着他逃跑；因为跑得太急，孩子掉在地上，腿就瘸了。
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)
一日，比录人临门的两个儿子利甲和巴拿出去，约在午热的时候到了伊施波设的家；伊施波设正睡午觉。
6 And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled.
他们进了房子，假作要取麦子，就刺透伊施波设的肚腹，逃跑了。
7 For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night.
他们进房子的时候，伊施波设正在卧房里躺在床上，他们将他杀死，割了他的首级，拿着首级在亚拉巴走了一夜，
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 Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede.
将伊施波设的首级拿到希伯 见大卫王，说：“王的仇敌扫罗曾寻索王的性命。看哪，这是他儿子伊施波设的首级；耶和华今日为我主我王在扫罗和他后裔的身上报了仇。”
9 Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity,
大卫对比录人临门的儿子利甲和他兄弟巴拿说：“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓：
10 When one 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:
从前有人报告我说，扫罗死了，他自以为报好消息；我就拿住他，将他杀在洗革拉，这就作了他报消息的赏赐。
11 How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth?
何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上，我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪、从世上除灭你们呢？”
12 Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and 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 Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
于是大卫吩咐少年人将他们杀了，砍断他们的手脚，挂在希伯 的池旁，却将伊施波设的首级葬在希伯 、押尼珥的坟墓里。
