1When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
1掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 聽見 押尼珥 死在 希伯崙 ，手就發軟； 以色列 眾人也都驚惶。
2Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
2掃羅 的兒子 伊施波設 有兩個軍長，一名 巴拿 ，一名 利甲 ，是 便雅憫 支派、 比錄 人 臨門 的兒子。 比錄 也屬 便雅憫 。
3and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
3比錄 人早先逃到 基他音 ，在那裏寄居，直到今日。
4Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
4掃羅 的兒子 約拿單 有一個兒子名叫 米非波設 ，是瘸腿的。 掃羅 和 約拿單 死亡 的消息從 耶斯列 傳到的時候，他才五歲。他乳母抱着他逃跑；因為跑得太急，孩子掉在地上，腿就瘸了。
5The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
5一日， 比錄 人 臨門 的兩個兒子 利甲 和 巴拿 出去，約在午熱的時候到了 伊施波設 的家； 伊施波設 正睡午覺。
6They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
6他們進了房子，假作要取麥子，就刺透 伊施波設 的肚腹，逃跑了。
7Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
7他們進房子的時候， 伊施波設 正在臥房裏躺在床上，他們將他殺死，割了他的首級，拿着首級在 亞拉巴 走了一夜，
8They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
8將 伊施波設 的首級拿到 希伯崙 見 大衛 王，說：「王的仇敵 掃羅 曾尋索王的性命。看哪，這是他兒子 伊施波設 的首級；耶和華今日為我主我王在 掃羅 和他後裔的身上報了仇。」
9David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
9大衛 對 比錄 人 臨門 的兒子 利甲 和他兄弟 巴拿 說：「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓：
10when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
10從前有人報告我說， 掃羅 死了，他自以為報好消息；我就拿住他，將他殺在 洗革拉 ，這就作了他報消息的賞賜。
11How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
11何況惡人將義人殺在他的床上，我豈不向你們討流他血的罪、從世上除滅你們呢？」
12David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
12於是 大衛 吩咐少年人將他們殺了，砍斷他們的手腳，掛在 希伯崙 的池旁，卻將 伊施波設 的首級葬在 希伯崙 押尼珥 的墳墓裏。
