| וישמע בן־שאול כי מת אבנר בחברון וירפו ידיו וכל־ישראל נבהלו׃ | 2Sam 4:1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. |
| ושני אנשים שרי־גדודים היו בן־שאול שם האחד בענה ושם השני רכב בני רמון הבארתי מבני בנימן כי גם־בארות תחשב על־בנימן׃ | 2Sam 4:2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin. |
| ויברחו הבארתים גתימה ויהיו־שם גרים עד היום הזה׃ | 2Sam 4:3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.) |
| וליהונתן בן־שאול בן נכה רגלים בן־חמש שנים היה בבא שמעת שאול ויהונתן מיזרעאל ותשאהו אמנתו ותנס ויהי בחפזה לנוס ויפל ויפסח ושמו מפיבשת׃ | 2Sam 4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, 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. |
| וילכו בני־רמון הבארתי רכב ובענה ויבאו כחם היום אל־בית איש בשת והוא שכב את משכב הצהרים׃ | 2Sam 4:5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. |
| והנה באו עד־תוך הבית לקחי חטים ויכהו אל־החמש ורכב ובענה אחיו נמלטו׃ | 2Sam 4:6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. |
| ויבאו הבית והוא־שכב על־מטתו בחדר משכבו ויכהו וימתהו ויסירו את־ראשו ויקחו את־ראשו וילכו דרך הערבה כל־הלילה׃ | 2Sam 4:7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night. |
| ויבאו את־ראש איש־בשת אל־דוד חברון ויאמרו אל־המלך הנה־ראש איש־בשת בן־שאול איבך אשר בקש את־נפשך ויתן יהוה לאדני המלך נקמות היום הזה משאול ומזרעו׃ | 2Sam 4:8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. |
| ויען דוד את־רכב׀ ואת־בענה אחיו בני רמון הבארתי ויאמר להם חי־יהוה אשר־פדה את־נפשי מכל־צרה׃ | 2Sam 4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity, |
| כי המגיד לי לאמר הנה־מת שאול והוא־היה כמבשר בעיניו ואחזה בו ואהרגהו בצקלג אשר לתתי־לו בשרה׃ | 2Sam 4:10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings: |
| אף כי־אנשים רשעים הרגו את־איש־צדיק בביתו על־משכבו ועתה הלוא אבקש את־דמו מידכם ובערתי אתכם מן־הארץ׃ | 2Sam 4:11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth? |
| ויצו דוד את־הנערים ויהרגום ויקצצו את־ידיהם ואת־רגליהם ויתלו על־הברכה בחברון ואת ראש איש־בשת לקחו ויקברו בקבר־אבנר בחברון׃ | 2Sam 4:12 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. |
