And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

2 and two human ruler band to be son: child Saul name [the] one Baanah and name [the] second Rechab son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite from son: descendant/people Benjamin for also Beeroth to devise: count upon Benjamin

And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:

3 and to flee [the] Beerothite Gittaim [to] and to be there to sojourn till [the] day: today [the] this

But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living to this day.)

Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. His name was Mephibosheth.

5 and to go: went son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite Rechab and Baanah and to come (in): come like/as heat [the] day to(wards) house: home Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth and he/she/it to lie down: sleep [obj] bed [the] midday

And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.

6 and they(fem.) to come (in): come till midst [the] house: home to take: take wheat and to smite him to(wards) [the] belly and Rechab and Baanah brother: male-sibling his to escape

And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.

And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.

8 and to come (in): bring [obj] head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth to(wards) David Hebron and to say to(wards) [the] king behold head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth son: child Saul enemy your which to seek [obj] soul: life your and to give: give LORD to/for lord my [the] king vengeance [the] day: today [the] this from Saul and from seed: children his

And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.

9 and to answer David [obj] Rechab and [obj] Baanah brother: male-sibling his son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite and to say to/for them alive LORD which to ransom [obj] soul: life my from all distress

And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

10 for [the] to tell to/for me to/for to say behold to die Saul and he/she/it to be like/as to bear tidings in/on/with eye: appearance his and to grasp [emph?] in/on/with him and to kill him in/on/with Ziklag which to/for to give: give me to/for him good news

When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:

11 also for human wicked to kill [obj] man righteous in/on/with house: home his upon bed his and now not to seek [obj] blood his from hand your and to burn: destroy [obj] you from [the] land: country/planet

How much more, when evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off from the earth?

12 and to command David [obj] [the] youth and to kill them and to cut [obj] hand their and [obj] foot their and to hang upon [the] pool in/on/with Hebron and [obj] head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth to take: take and to bury in/on/with grave Abner in/on/with Hebron

And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.
