2 Samuel 4:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Finally they turned west and went to Hebron. They went in to see David and told him, “Your Majesty, here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul who tried to kill you! The Lord has let you get even with Saul and his family.”

⁹ David answered:

I swear that only the Lord rescues me when I'm in trouble! ^10 (A) When a man came to Ziklag and told me that Saul was dead, he thought he deserved a reward for bringing good news. But I grabbed him and killed him.
