2 Samuel 4:7 in Context — 2 Samuel 4
5 Or les fils de Rimmon de Beéroth, Récab et Baana, se rendirent pendant la chaleur du jour à la maison d’Isch-Boscheth, qui était couché pour son repos de midi.
6 Ils pénétrèrent jusqu’au milieu de la maison, comme pour prendre du froment, et ils le frappèrent au ventre; puis Récab et Baana, son frère, se sauvèrent.
7 Ils entrèrent donc dans la maison pendant qu’il reposait sur son lit dans sa chambre à coucher, ils le frappèrent et le firent mourir, et ils lui coupèrent la tête. Ils prirent sa tête, et ils marchèrent toute la nuit au travers de la plaine.
8 Ils apportèrent la tête d’Isch-Boscheth à David dans Hébron, et ils dirent au roi: Voici la tête d’Isch-Boscheth, fils de Saül, ton ennemi, qui en voulait à ta vie; l’Éternel venge aujourd’hui le roi mon seigneur de Saül et de sa race.
9 David répondit à Récab et à Baana, son frère, fils de Rimmon de Beéroth: L’Éternel qui m’a délivré de tout péril est vivant!
