¹And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

¹Kui Sauli poeg kuulis, et Abner oli Hebronis surnud, siis läksid ta käed lõdvaks ja kogu Iisrael tundis hirmu.

²And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.

²Ja Sauli pojal oli kaks meest röövjõukude pealikuiks: ühe nimi oli Baana ja teise nimi Reekab, beerotlase Rimmoni pojad benjaminlaste seast; sest ka Beerot loetakse Benjaminile kuuluvaks.

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

³Beerotlased olid aga põgenenud Gittaimisse ja nad elavad seal võõrastena tänapäevani.

⁴And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

⁴Joonatanil, Sauli pojal, oli jalust vigane poeg, kes oli viieaastane, kui Jisreelist tuli sõnum Sauli ja Joonatani kohta; siis võttis ta hoidja tema sülle ja põgenes, aga rutulisel põgenemisel juhtus, et laps kukkus maha ja jäi lonkama; ta nimi oli Mefiboset.

⁵And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.

⁵Ja beerotlase Rimmoni pojad Reekab ja Baana läksid teele ja tulid Iisboseti kotta, kui päev oli palavaim ja ta magas oma lõunauinakut.

⁶And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

⁶Ja nad tulid sinna kotta sisse nagu nisu võtma, ja nad pistsid temale kõhtu; Reekab ja ta vend Baana ise pääsesid pakku.

⁷For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.

⁷Olles tulnud kotta, kui Iisboset magas voodis oma magamiskambris, lõid nad tema surnuks ja raiusid tal pea maha; siis nad võtsid ta pea ja käisid kogu öö lagendiku teed.

⁸And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

⁸Ja nad tõid Iisboseti pea Taaveti juurde Hebronisse ning ütlesid kuningale: 'Vaata, siin on su vaenlase, Sauli poja Iisboseti pea. Tema püüdis su hinge. Issand on täna Saulile ja tema järglastele kätte maksnud mu isanda kuninga pärast.'

⁹And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

⁹Aga Taavet vastas Reekabile ja tema vennale Baanale, beerotlase Rimmoni poegadele, ja ütles neile: 'Nii tõesti kui elab Issand, kes on päästnud mu hinge igast hädast:

¹⁰When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

¹⁰selle, kes mulle kuulutas ja ütles: Vaata, Saul on surnud - ta oli enese silmis rõõmusõnumi tooja -, selle ma võtsin kinni ja tapsin Siklagis, tema, kellele oleksin pidanud andma teatetooja tasu,

¹¹How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

¹¹saati siis nüüd, kui õelad mehed on tapnud süütu mehe tema voodis ta oma kojas. Eks ma pea nüüd nõudma tema verd teie käest ja hävitama teid maa pealt?'

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

¹²Ja Taavet andis käsu noortele meestele ja need tapsid nad ära, raiusid neilt käed ja jalad ja poosid nad Hebroni tiigi äärde; aga Iisboseti pea nad võtsid ja matsid Hebronisse Abneri hauda.
