Ish-bosheth Murdered

1 When Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, heard that Abner had died at Hebron, his courage failed, and all Israel was dismayed. (Ezr 4:4; Isa 13:7; Jer 6:24) 2 Now Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon a man of Benjamin from Beeroth (for Beeroth also is counted part of Benjamin; (Jos 18:25) 3 the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have been sojourners there to this day). (1Sa 31:7; Ne 11:33) 4 Jonathan, the son of Saul, had a son who was crippled 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 fled in her haste, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. (1Sa 29:1; 1Sa 29:11; 2Sa 9:3; 2Sa 9:6)

5 Now the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, set out, and about the heat of the day they came to the house of Ish-bosheth as he was taking his noonday rest. 6 And they came into the midst of the house as if to get wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.^[1] (2Sa 2:23) 7 When they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and put him to death and beheaded him. They took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night, (De 1:1; 2Sa 2:29) 8 and brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron. And they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. The Lord has avenged my lord the king this day on Saul and on his offspring.” (1Sa 19:10; 1Sa 23:15) 9 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life out of every adversity, (Ru 3:13; 1Ki 1:29) 10 when one told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news. (2Sa 1:4; 2Sa 1:15) 11 How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth?” (Ge 9:5) 12 And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged them beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in the tomb of Abner at Hebron. (2Sa 3:32)

مصرع إيشبوشث

1 وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ بِمَقْتَلِ أَبْنَيْرَ فِي حَبْرُونَ ارْتَعَبَ وَاسْتَوْلَى الْخَوْفُ عَلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. 2 وَكَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِ فِرَقِ الْغُزَاةِ التَّابِعَةِ لاِبْنِ شَاوُلَ قَائِدَانِ أَخَوَانِ، هُمَا بَعْنَةُ وَرَكَابُ ابْنَا رِمُّونَ الْبَئِيرُوتِيِّ مِنْ بِنِي بِنْيَامِينَ، لأَنَّ بَئِيرُوتَ حُسِبَتْ فِي عِدَادِ مِيرَاثِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، 3 لأَنَّ أَهْلَ بَئِيرُوتَ فَرُّوا إِلَى جَتَّايِمَ وَتَغَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. 4 وَكَانَ لِيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ ابْنٌ يُدعَى مَفِيبُوشَثَ قَدْ أُصِيبَ بِرِجْلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، عِنْدَمَا حَمَلَتْهُ مُرَبِّيَتُهُ وَهَرَبَتْ بِهِ مُسْرِعَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ ذَاعَ خَبَرُ مَقْتَلِ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ فَوَقَعَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهَا وَأَصْبَحَ أَعْرَجَ. 5 وانْطَلَقَ رَكَابُ وَبَعْنَةُ ابْنَا رِمُّونَ الْبَئِيرُوتِيِّ وَدَخَلا عِنْدَ اشْتِدَادِ وَطْأَةِ حَرِّ النَّهَارِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيشْبُوشَثَ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ وَقْتَ الْقَيْلُولَةِ، 6 فَدَخَلا إِلَى وَسَطِ الْبَيْتِ، مُتَظَاهِرَيْنِ أَنَّهُمَا قَدْ جَاءَا لِيَأْخُذَا قَمْحَاً، 7 وَكَانَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ آنَئِذٍ مُضْطَجِعاً عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فِي مُخْدَعِ نَوْمِهِ، فَطَعَنَاهُ وَقَتَلاهُ وَقَطَعَا رَأْسَهُ وَحَمَلاهُ وجَدَّا فِي الْهَرَبِ طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ عَبْرَ طَرِيقِ الْعَرَبَةِ. 8 وَأَتَيَا بِرَأْسِ إِيشْبُوشَثَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ وَقَالا: «هَا هُوَ رَأْسُ إِيشْبُوشَثَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ، عَدُوِّكَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْعَى إِلَى قَتْلِكَ، وَهُوَذَا الرَّبُّ قَدِ انْتَقَمَ الْيَوْمَ لِسَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ مِنْ شَاوُلَ ومِنْ نَسْلِهِ». 9 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِرَكَابَ وَبَعْنَةَ أَخِيهِ، ابْنَيْ رِمُّونَ الْبَئِيرُوتِيِّ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ، 10 إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ قَبَضْتُ عَلَى مَنْ خَبَّرَنِي أَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَتَلْتُهُ فِي صِقْلَغَ، وَقَدْ ظَنَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ لِي بِشَارَةً سَارَّةً، فَكَانَ مَوْتُهُ جَزَاءَ بِشَارَتِهِ، 11 فَمَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِالأَحْرَى بِرَجُلَيْنِ بَاغِيَيْنِ يَقْتُلانِ رَجُلاً بَرِيئاً فِي بَيْتِهِ وَعَلَى سَرِيرِهِ؟ أَلا أُطَالِبُ الآنَ بِدَمِهِ مِنْ أَيْدِيكُمَا وَأَسْتَأْصِلُكُمَا مِنَ الأَرْضِ؟» 12 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ رِجَالَهُ فَقَتَلُوهُمَا وَقَطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمَا وَأَرْجُلَهُمَا، وَعَلَّقُوا جُثَّتَيْهِمَا عَلَى الْبِرْكَةِ فِي حَبْرُونَ. وَأَمَّا رَأْسُ إِيشْبُوشَثَ فَأَخَذُوهُ وَوَارَوْهُ فِي قَبْرِ أَبْنَيْرَ فِي حَبْرُونَ.
