Parallel
2 Samuel 4
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
ἤκουσεν μεμφιβόσθε υἱὸς Σαοὺλ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ἀβεννὴρ ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ ἐξελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ παρείθησαν.
Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
καὶ δύο ἄνδρες ἡγούμενοι συστρεμμάτων τῷ υἱῷ Σαοὐλ. ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βαανά, καὶ ὄνομα τῷ δευτέρῳ Ῥηχάβ, υἱοὶ Ῥεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμείν, ὅτι Βηρὼθ ἐλογίζετο τοῖς υἱοῖς Βενιαμείν.
Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
καὶ ἀπέδρασαν οἱ Βηρωθαῖοι εἰς Γεθθάι, ἦσαν ἐκεῖ παροικοῦντες ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
Καὶ τῷ υἱῷ Σαοὺλ υἱὸς πεπληγὼς τοὺς πόδας υἱὸς ἐτῶν πέντε, καὶ οὗτος ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τὴν ἀγγελίαν Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωναθὰν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐξ Ισραήλ, καὶ ἦρεν αὐτὸν ὁ τιθηνὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγεν· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπεύδειν αὐτόν καὶ ἀναχωρεῖν, καὶ ἔπεσεν καὶ ἑ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μεμφιβόσθε.
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῦ Βεηρωθαίου Ῥεκχὰ καὶ Βαὰμ καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς οἶκον Μεμφιβόσθε, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθευδεν ἐν τῆ κοίτη τῆς μεσημβρίας.
Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυρωρὸς τοῦ οἴκου ἐκάθαιρεν πυροὺς καὶ ἐνύσταξεν καἰ ἐκάθευδεν, καὶ Ῥεκχὰ καὶ βάμμα οἱ ἀδελφοὶ διέλαθον.
They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ Μεμφιβόσθε ἐκάθευδεν ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κοιτῶνι αὐτοῦ· καὶ τύπτουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ θανατοῦσιν, καὶ ἀναφαιροῦσιν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῆλθον ὁδὸν τὴν κατὰ δυσμὰς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα.
They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὴν κεφαλὴν μεμφιβόσθε τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς Χεβρών, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἴδου ἡ κεφαλὴ Μεμφιβόσθε υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου, ὃς ἐζήτει τὴν ψυχήν σου· καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ βασιλεῖ ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, ἐκ Σαοὺλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου κοὶ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ.
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυεὶδ τῷ Ῥεκχὰ καὶ τῶ Βαὰμ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ υἱοῖς Ῥεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου καὶ αὐτοῖς Ζῇ κύριος ὃς ἐλυτρώσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πάσης
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
ὅτι ὁ ἀπαγγείλας μοι ὅτι τέθνηκεν Σαοὺλ καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ὡς εὐαλλελιζόμενος ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ κατέσχον αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκτεινα ἐν Σεκελάκ, ᾧ ἔδει με δοῦναι εὐαγγέλια.
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward for his news!
καὶ νῦν ἄνδρες πονηροὶ ἀπεκτάνκασιν κάσιν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ· καὶ νῦν ἐκζητήσω τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς γῆς.
How much more, when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth!”
καὶ ἐνετείλατο Δαυεὶδ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποκτέννουσιν αὐτούς· καὶ κολοβοῦσιν τὰς χεῖρας οὕτων καὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκρέμασαν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς κρήνης ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν Μεμφιβόσθε ἔθαψαν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Ἀβεννὴρ υἱοῦ Νήρ.
So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
