4:8

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>

unto David
<01732>

to Hebron
<02275>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

Behold the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

which sought
<01245> (8765)

thy life
<05315>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

hath
<05414> (8799)

avenged
<05360>

my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

this day
<03117>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and of his seed
<02233>_.

4:9

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Rechab
<07394>

and Baanah
<01196>

his brother
<0251>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Rimmon
<07417>

the Beerothite
<0886>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

who hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

out of all adversity
<06869>_,

4:10

When one told
<05046> (8688)

me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Saul
<07586>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

thinking to have brought
<05869>

good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,

I took hold
<0270> (8799)

of him, and slew
<02026> (8799)

him in Ziklag
<06860>_,

who [thought] that I would have given
<05414> (8800)

him a reward for his tidings
<01309>_:

{thinking...: Heb. he was in his own eyes as a bringer, etc} {who...: or, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings}

4:11

How much more, when wicked
<07563>

men
<0582>

have slain
<02026> (8804)

a righteous
<06662>

person
<0376>

in his own house
<01004>

upon his bed
<04904>_?

shall I not therefore now require
<01245> (8762)

his blood
<01818>

of your hand
<03027>_,

and take you away
<01197> (8765)

from the earth
<0776>_?

4:12

And David
<01732>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

his young men
<05288>_,

and they slew
<02026> (8799)

them, and cut off
<07112> (8762)

their hands
<03027>

and their feet
<07272>_,

and hanged [them] up
<08518> (8799)

over the pool
<01295>

in Hebron
<02275>_.

But they took
<03947> (8804)

the head
<07218>

of Ishbosheth
<0378>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

[it] in the sepulchre
<06913>

of Abner
<074>

in Hebron
<02275>_.
