NETBible

They had entered¹ the house while Ish-bosheth² was resting on his bed in his bedroom. They mortally wounded him³ and then cut off his head.⁴ Taking his head,⁵ they traveled on the way of the Arabah all that night.

NET Notes

¹tn After the concluding disjunctive clause at the end of v. 6, the author now begins a more detailed account of the murder and its aftermath.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ish-bosheth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Heb “they struck him down and killed him.” The expression is a verbal hendiadys.

⁴tn Heb “and they removed his head.” The Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate lack these words.

⁵tc The Lucianic Greek recension lacks the words “his head.”
