5. Recab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ish Bosheth’s house at noon. Ish Bosheth was resting because it was hot.
8. When they arrived at Hebron, they gave Ish Bosheth’s head to David. Recab and Baanah said to King David, “Here is the head of your enemy, Ish Bosheth son of Saul. He tried to kill you, but the Lord has punished Saul and his family for you today.”
9. But David told Recab and his brother Baanah, “As surely as the Lord lives, he is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles!
10. Once before a man thought he would bring me good news. He told me, ‘Look! Saul is dead.’ He thought I would reward him for bringing me the news. But I grabbed this man and killed him at Ziklag.
11. I will kill you too and remove this evil from our land because you evil men killed a good man sleeping on his own bed, in his own house.”
