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.
9 Y David respondió á Rechâb y á su hermano Baana, hijos de Rimmón Beerothita, y díjoles: Vive Jehová que ha redimido mi alma de toda angustia,
