2 Samuel 4:6 in Context — 2 Samuel 4
4 Y Jonathán, hijo de Saúl, tenía un hijo lisiado de los pies de edad de cinco años: que cuando la noticia [de la muerte] de Saúl y de Jonathán vino de Jezreel, tomóle su ama y huyó; y como iba huyendo con celeridad, cayó el [niño] y quedó cojo. Su nombre era Mephi-boseth.
5 Los hijos pues de Rimmón Beerothita, Rechâb y Baana, fueron y entraron en el mayor calor del día en casa de Is-boseth, el cual estaba durmiendo en su cámara la siesta.
6 Entonces entraron ellos en medio de la casa [en hábito de] mercaderes de grano, y le hirieron en la quinta [costilla]. Escapáronse luego Rechâb y Baana su hermano;
7 Pues como entraron en la casa, estando él en su cama en su cámara de dormir, lo hirieron y mataron, y cortáronle la cabeza, y habiéndola tomado, caminaron toda la noche por el camino de la campiña.
8 Y trajeron la cabeza de Is-boseth á David en Hebrón, y dijeron al rey: He aquí la cabeza de Is-boseth hijo de Saúl tu enemigo, que procuraba matarte; y Jehová ha vengado hoy á mi señor el rey, de Saúl y de su simiente.
