2 Samuel 4
1 Ketika didengar anak Saul, bahwa Abner sudah mati di Hebron, maka hilanglah keberaniannya, dan terkejutlah seluruh orang Israel.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
2 Anak Saul mempunyai dua orang sebagai kepala gerombolan, yang satu bernama Baana dan yang kedua bernama Rekhab, keduanya anak Rimon, orang Benyamin dari Beerot. --Sebab Beerotpun terhitung daerah Benyamin.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
3 Orang Beerot sudah melarikan diri ke Gitaim dan menjadi pendatang di sana sampai sekarang. --
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
4 Yonatan, anak Saul, mempunyai seorang anak laki-laki, yang cacat kakinya. Ia berumur lima tahun, ketika datang kabar tentang Saul dan Yonatan dari Yizreel. Inang pengasuhnya mengangkat dia pada waktu itu, lalu lari, tetapi karena terburu-buru larinya, anak itu jatuh dan menjadi timpang. Ia bernama Mefiboset.
And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
5 Anak-anak Rimon, orang Beerot itu, yakni Rekhab dan Baana, pergi, lalu sampai pada waktu hari panas terik ke rumah Isyboset, ketika ia sedang berbaring siang hari.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
6 Kebetulan penjaga pintu rumah itu mengantuk dan tertidur, ketika sedang membersihkan gandum. Demikianlah Rekhab dan Baana menyusup ke dalam.
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
7 Mereka masuk ke dalam rumah itu, ketika Isyboset sedang berbaring di atas tempat tidurnya di dalam kamar tidurnya, membunuh dia lalu memenggal kepalanya. Mereka membawa kepalanya itu, lalu berjalan semalam-malaman melalui jalan dari Araba-Yordan.
And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they strike him, and kill him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
8 Kepala Isyboset itu dibawa mereka kepada Daud di Hebron dan mereka berkata kepada raja: "Inilah kepala Isyboset, anak Saul, musuhmu itu, yang ingin mencabut nyawamu; TUHAN pada hari ini telah membiarkan tuanku raja mengadakan pembalasan atas Saul dan atas keturunannya."
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul your enemy, and on his seed.
9 Tetapi Daud menjawab Rekhab dan Baana, saudaranya, anak-anak Rimon, orang Beerot itu, katanya kepada mereka: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah membebaskan nyawaku dari segala kesesakan!
And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
10 Ketika ada orang yang membawa kabar kepadaku demikian: Saul sudah mati! dan memandang dirinya sebagai orang yang menyampaikan kabar baik, maka aku menangkap dan membunuh dia di Ziklag, dan dengan demikian aku memberikan kepadanya upah kabarnya;
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and killed him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
11 terlebih lagi sekarang, setelah orang-orang fasik membunuh seorang yang benar, di rumahnya di atas tempat tidurnya, tidakkah aku menuntut darahnya dari pada kamu dan melenyapkan kamu dari muka bumi?"
And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
12 Sesudah itu Daud memberi perintah kepada anak buahnya untuk membunuh mereka; tangan dan kaki mereka dipotong, kemudian mayat mereka digantung di tepi telaga di Hebron. Tetapi kepala Isyboset diambil dan dikuburkan di dalam kubur Abner di Hebron.
And David commanded his young men, and they kill them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
