撒母耳記下

第4章

1 掃羅的兒子伊施.波設聽見押尼珥死在希伯崙,手就發軟,以色列人[Israelites]也都驚惶。

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,

3 比錄人早先逃到基他音,在那裏寄居,直到今日。)

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。他乳母抱著他逃跑;因為跑得太急,孩子掉在地上,腿就瘸了。

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。

6 他們進了房子,假作要取麥子,就刺透伊施.波設的肚腹,然後利甲和他兄弟巴拿都逃跑了[and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped]

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,拿著首級在平原[plain]走了一夜,

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。」

9 大衛對比錄人臨門的兒子利甲和他兄弟巴拿說:「我指著救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓:

10 從前有人報告我說,看哪[Behold],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。

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?」

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。

2 Samuel

Chapter 4

1 WHEN Ashbashul Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he trembled, and all Israel was troubled.

2 And Saul's son had two men who were captains of raiding bands; the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is reckoned to the Benjamites;

3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and are sojourners there until this day).

4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled; and, as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baana, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ashbashul as he was taking his noontide rest.

6 And behold, they came into the midst of the house; then those sons of wickedness took and smote him in his abdomen; and Rechab and Banna his brother escaped.

7 For when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him and slew him and beheaded him, and took his head and fled by the way of the plain all night.

8 And they brought the head of Ashbashul to David at Hebron, and said to King David, Behold the head of Ashbashul the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the LORD has avenged our lord the king this day of Saul and of his offspring.

9 And David answered Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As the LORD lives, who has saved my life out of every adversity,

10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought me good tidings, I seized him and slew him in Zinklag, instead of giving him a reward for his tidings;

11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a man in his own house upon his bed? Now I will avenge his blood at your hands and destroy you from the earth.

12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them on the hill in Hebron. But they took the head of Ashbashul and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
