2 Samuel 4:1-3
Common English Bible
Ishbosheth murdered
4 When Ishbosheth,[a] Saul’s son, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost his courage,[b] and all Israel was alarmed. 2 Saul’s son had two men who led the raiding parties—one was named Baanah and the other Rechab. Both were sons of Rimmon, a Benjaminite from Beeroth. (Beeroth was considered part of Benjamin. 3 The people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim and even now live there as immigrants.)
