2 Samuel 4 - Bíblia Online

Ouvindo, pois, o filho de Saul, que Abner morrera em Hebrom, as mãos se lhe afrouxaram; e todo o Israel pasmou. 
E tinha o filho de Saul dois homens capitães de tropas; e era o nome de um Baaná, e o nome do outro Recabe, filhos de Rimom, o beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim, porque também Beerote se reputava de Benjamim. 
E tinham fugido os beerotitas para Gitaim, e ali têm peregrinado até ao dia de hoje. 
E Jônatas, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado de ambos os pés; era da idade de cinco anos quando as novas de Saul e Jônatas vieram de Jizreel, e sua ama o tomou, e fugiu; e sucedeu que, apressando-se ela a fugir, ele caiu, e ficou coxo; e o seu nome era Mefibosete. 
E foram os filhos de Rimom, o beerotita, Recabe e Baaná, e entraram em casa de Is-Bosete no maior calor do dia, estando ele deitado a dormir, ao meio-dia. 
E ali entraram até ao meio da casa, como que vindo buscar trigo, e o feriram na quinta costela; e Recabe e Baaná, seu irmão, escaparam. 
Porque entraram na sua casa, estando ele na cama deitado, no seu quarto, e o feriram, e o mataram, e lhe cortaram a cabeça; e, tomando a sua cabeça, andaram toda a noite caminhando pela planície. 
E trouxeram a cabeça de Is-Bosete a Davi, a Hebrom, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Is-Bosete, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que procurava a tua morte; assim o SENHOR vingou hoje ao rei meu senhor, de Saul e da sua descendência. 
Porém Davi, respondendo a Recabe e a Baaná, seu irmão, filhos de Rimom, o beerotita, disse-lhes: Vive o Senhor, que remiu a minha alma de toda a angústia, 
Se aquele que me trouxe novas, dizendo: Eis que Saul é morto, parecendo-lhe, porém, aos olhos que era como quem trazia boas novas, eu logo lancei mão dele, e o matei em Ziclague, cuidando ele que eu por isso lhe desse recompensa. 
Quanto mais a ímpios homens, que mataram um homem justo em sua casa, sobre a sua cama; agora, pois, não requereria eu o seu sangue de vossas mãos, e não vos exterminaria da terra? 
E deu Davi ordem aos seus moços que os matassem; e cortaram-lhes os pés e as mãos, e os penduraram sobre o tanque de Hebrom; tomaram, porém, a cabeça de Is-Bosete, e a sepultaram na sepultura de Abner, em Hebrom.

And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were enfeebled, and all Israel was troubled. 
And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin; for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin. 
And the Beerothites had fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day. 
And Jonathan Saul's son had a son that was lame of {his} feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jizreel; 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 Mephibosheth. 
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went and came in about the heat of the day into the house of Ishbosheth, who was taking his noonday rest. 
And they came thither into the midst of the house, {as though} they would fetch wheat; and they smote him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 
They came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him; and they took his head, and went by the way of the plain all night. 
And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, thine enemy who sought thy life; and Jehovah has given to my lord the king to be avenged this day of Saul and of his seed. 
Then David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, {As} Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress, 
when one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead! and he was in his own sight a messenger of good, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag-to whom forsooth I should give a reward for his good tidings: 
how much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? and should I not now demand his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth? 
And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged {them} up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
