1. וַיִּשְׁמַע בֶּן־שָׁאוּל כִּי מֵת אַבְנֵר בְּחֶבְרֹון וַיִּרְפּוּ יָדָיו וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל נִבְהָלוּ׃

2. וּשְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים שָׂרֵי־גְדוּדִים הָיוּ בֶן־שָׁאוּל שֵׁם הָאֶחָד בַּעֲנָה וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי רֵכָב בְּנֵי רִמֹּון הַבְּאֶרֹתִי מִבְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן כִּי גַּם־בְּאֵרֹות תֵּחָשֵׁב עַל־בִּנְיָמִן׃

3. And the Beerothites H886 fled H1272 to Gittaim H1664 , and were H1961 sojourners H1481 there H8033 until H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .)

4. וְלִיהֹונָתָן בֶּן־שָׁאוּל בֵּן נְכֵה רַגְלָיִם בֶּן־חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים הָיָה בְּבֹא שְׁמֻעַת שָׁאוּל וִיהֹונָתָן מִיִּזְרְעֶאל וַתִּשָּׂאֵהוּ אֹמַנְתֹּו וַתָּנֹס וַיְהִי בְּחָפְזָהּ לָנוּס וַיִּפֹּל וַיִּפָּסֵחַ וּשְׁמֹו מְפִיבֹשֶׁת׃

4. And Jonathan H3083 , Saul H7586 's son H1121 , had a son H1121 that was lame H5223 of his feet H7272 . He was H1961 five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the tidings H8052 came H935 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 out of Jezreel H4480 H3157 , and his nurse H539 took him up H5375 , and fled H5127 : and it came to pass H1961 , as she made haste H2648 to flee H5127 , that he fell H5307 , and became lame H6452 . And his name H8034 was Mephibosheth H4648 .

5. וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּנֵי־רִמֹּון הַבְּאֵרֹתִי רֵכָב וּבַעֲנָה וַיָּבֹאוּ כְּחֹם הַיֹּום אֶל־בֵּית אִישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְהוּא שֹׁכֵב אֵת מִשְׁכַּב הַצָּהֳרָיִם׃
|
5. And the sons H1121 of Rimmon H7417 the Beerothite H886 , Rechab H7394 and Baanah H1165 , went H1980 , and came H935 about the heat H2527 of the day H3117 to H413 the house H1004 of Ish H378 -bosheth, who H1931 lay H7901 on H853 a bed H4904 at noon H6672 .
|
|
6. וְהֵנָּה בָּאוּ עַד־תֹּוךְ הַבַּיִת לֹקְחֵי חִטִּים וַיַּכֻּהוּ אֶל־הַחֹמֶשׁ וְרֵכָב וּבַעֲנָה אָחִיו נִמְלָטוּ׃
|
6. And they came H935 thither H2008 into H5704 the midst H8432 of the house H1004 , as though they would have fetched H3947 wheat H2406 ; and they smote H5221 him under H413 the fifth H2570 rib : and Rechab H7394 and Baanah H1196 his brother H251 escaped H4422 .
|
|
7. וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבַּיִת וְהוּא־שֹׁכֵב עַל־מִטָּתֹו בַּחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבֹו וַיַּכֻּהוּ וַיְמִתֻהוּ וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת־רֹאשֹׁו וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־רֹאשֹׁו וַיֵּלְכוּ דֶּרֶךְ הָעֲרָבָה כָּל־הַלָּיְלָה׃
|
7. For when they came H935 into the house H1004 , he H1931 lay H7901 on H5921 his bed H4296 in his bedchamber H2315 H4904 , and they smote H5221 him , and slew H4191 him , and beheaded H5493 H853 H7218 him , and took H3947 H853 his head H7218 , and got them away H1980 through H1870 the plain H6160 all H3605 night H3915 .
|
|
8. וַיָּבִאוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁ אִישׁ־בֹּשֶׁת אֶל־דָּוִד חֶבְרֹון וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ הִנֵּה־רֹאשׁ אִישׁ־בֹּשֶׁת בֶּן־שָׁאוּל אֹיִבְךָ אֲשֶׁר בִּקֵּשׁ אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה לַאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ נְקָמֹות הַיֹּום הַזֶּה מִשָּׁאוּל וּמִזַּרְעֹו׃ ס
|
8. And they brought H935 H853 the head H7218 of Ish H378 -bosheth unto H413 David H1732 to Hebron H2275 , and said H559 to H413 the king H4428 , Behold H2009 the head H7218 of Ish H378 -bosheth the son H1121 of Saul H7586 thine enemy H341 , which H834 sought H1245 H853 thy life H5315 ; and the LORD H3068 hath avenged H5414 H5360 my lord H113 the king H4428 this H2088 day H3117 of Saul H4480 H7586 , and of his seed H4480 H2233 .

|
9. וַיַּעַן דָּוִד אֶת־רֵכָב ׀ וְאֶת־בַּעֲנָה אָחִיו בְּנֵי רִמֹּון הַבְּאֵרֹתִי וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם חַי־יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר־פָּדָה אֶת־נַפְשִׁי מִכָּל־צָרָה׃
|
9. And David H1732 answered H6030 H853 Rechab H7394 and Baanah H1196 his brother H251 , the sons H1121 of Rimmon H7417 the Beerothite H886 , and said H559 unto them, As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , who H834 hath redeemed H6299 H853 my soul H5315 out of all H4480 H3605 adversity H6869 ,
|
|
10. כִּי הַמַּגִּיד לִי לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה־מֵת שָׁאוּל וְהוּא־הָיָה כִמְבַשֵּׂר בְּעֵינָיו וָאֹחֲזָה בֹו וָאֶהְרְגֵהוּ בְּצִקְלָג אֲשֶׁר לְתִתִּי־לֹו בְּשֹׂרָה׃
|
10. When H3588 one told H5046 me, saying H559 , Behold H2009 , Saul H7586 is dead H4191 , thinking H5869 to have H1961 brought good tidings H1319 , I took hold H270 of him , and slew H2026 him in Ziklag H6860 , who H834 thought that I would have given H5414 him a reward for his tidings H1309 :
|
|
11. אַף כִּי־אֲנָשִׁים רְשָׁעִים הָרְגוּ אֶת־אִישׁ־צַדִּיק בְּבֵיתֹו עַל־מִשְׁכָּבֹו וְעַתָּה הֲלֹוא אֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּמֹו מִיֶּדְכֶם וּבִעַרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ׃
|
11. How much more H637 , when H3588 wicked H7563 men H376 have slain H2026 H853 a righteous H6662 person H376 in his own house H1004 upon H5921 his bed H4904 ? shall I not H3808 therefore now H6258 require H1245 H853 his blood H1818 of your hand H4480 H3027 , and take you away H1197 H853 from H4480 the earth H776 ?
|
|
12. וַיְצַו דָּוִד אֶת־הַנְּעָרִים וַיַּהַרְגוּם וַיְקַצְּצוּ אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וְאֶת־רַגְלֵיהֶם וַיִּתְלוּ עַל־הַבְּרֵכָה בְּחֶבְרֹון וְאֵת רֹאשׁ אִישׁ־בֹּשֶׁת לָקָחוּ וַיִּקְבְּרוּ בְקֶבֶר־אַבְנֵר בְּחֶבְרֹון׃ פ
|
12. And David H1732 commanded H6680 H853 his young men H5288 , and they slew H2026 them , and cut off H7112 H853 their hands H3027 and their feet H7272 , and hanged them up H8518 over H5921 the pool H1295 in Hebron H2275 . But they took H3947 the head H7218 of Ish H378 -bosheth , and buried H6912 it in the sepulcher H6913 of Abner H74 in Hebron H2275 .
