2 Samuel 4:2-9

[2] And Saul's  son  had  two  that were captains  of bands:  the name  of the one  was Baanah,  and the name  of the other  Rechab,  the sons  of Rimmon  a Beerothite,  of the children  of Benjamin:  (for Beeroth  also was reckoned  to Benjamin:  [3] And the Beerothites  fled  to Gittaim,  and were sojourners  there until this day.)  [4] And Jonathan,  Saul's  son,  that was lame  of his feet.  He was five  years  old  when the tidings  came  of Saul  and Jonathan  out of Jezreel,  and his nurse  took him up,  and fled:  and it came to pass, as she made haste  to flee,  that he fell,  and became lame.  And his name  was Mephibosheth.  [5] And the sons  of Rimmon  the Beerothite,  Rechab  and Baanah,  and came  about the heat  of the day  to the house  of Ishbosheth,  who lay  on a bed  at noon.  [6] And they came thither  into the midst  of the house,  as though they would have fetched  wheat;  and they smote  him under the fifth  rib: and Rechab  and Baanah  his brother  escaped.  [7] For when they came  into the house,  he lay  on his bed  in his bedchamber,  and they smote  him, and slew  him, and beheaded  him, and took  his head,  through  the plain  all night.  [8] And they brought  the head  of Ishbosheth  unto David  to Hebron,  and said  to the king,  Behold the head  of Ishbosheth  the son  of Saul  thine enemy,  which sought  thy life;  and the LORD  hath  avenged  my lord  the king  this day  of Saul,  and of his seed.  [9] And David  answered  Rechab  and Baanah  his brother,  the sons  of Rimmon  the Beerothite,  and said  unto them, As the LORD  liveth,  who hath redeemed  my soul  out of all adversity,
