2 Samuel 4:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Ishbaal Assassinated

4 When Saul’s son Ishbaal^[a] heard that Abner had died at Hebron, his courage failed, and all Israel was dismayed. ² Saul’s son had two captains of raiding bands; the name of one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab. They were sons of Rimmon, a Benjaminite from Beeroth—for Beeroth is considered to belong to Benjamin. ³ (Now the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim and are there as resident aliens to this day).
