4:3. And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there
until that time.
4:4. And Jonathan the son of Saul had a son that was lame of his feet:
for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan
from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste
to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
4:5. And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went
into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping
upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing
wheat, was fallen asleep.
4:6. And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and
Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
4:7. For when they came into the house, he was sleeping upon his bed in
a parlour, and they struck him and killed him and taking away his head
they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
4:8. And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they
said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy
who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this
day of Saul, and of his seed.
4:9. But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of
Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath
delivered my soul out of all distress,
4:10. The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he
brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should
have been rewarded for his news.
4:11. How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in
his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand,
and take you away from the earth?
4:12. And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting
off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but
the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in
Hebron.
2 Kings Chapter 5
David is anointed king of all Israel. He taketh Jerusalem, and dwelleth
there. He defeateth the Philistines.
5:1. Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying:
Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
5:2. Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over
us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord
said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince
over Israel.
5:3. The ancients also of Israel came to the king of Hebron, and king
David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they
anointed David to be king over Israel.
5:4. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
forty years.
5:5. In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in
Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
5:6. And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem
to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David:
Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the
lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
5:7. But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.
5:8. For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike
the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and
take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore
it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into
the temple.
5:9. And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David:
and built round about from Mello and inwards.
