2 Samuel 4:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 Now (A)Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was disabled in both feet. He was five years old when the (B)news of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse picked him up and fled. But it happened that in her hurry to flee, he fell and could no longer walk. And his name was [a](C)Mephibosheth.
5 So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, departed and came to the house of (D)Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while he was taking his midday rest. 6 [b]And they came to the interior of the house as if [c]to get wheat, and (E)they struck him in the belly; and Rechab and his brother Baanah escaped.
