2 Samuel 4:11 in Context — 2 Samuel 4

9 E Davi respondeu a Recabe e a seu irmão Baaná, filhos de Rimom beerotita, e disse-lhes: Vive o SENHOR que redimiu minha alma de toda angústia,

10 que, quando um me deu a notícia, dizendo: Eis que Saul é morto, imaginando que trazia uma boa notícia, eu o detive e o matei em Ziclague, por causa da notícia.

11 Quanto mais aos homens maus que mataram a um homem justo em sua casa, e sobre sua cama? Agora, pois, não tenho eu de exigir o seu sangue das vossas mãos, e exterminar-vos da terra?

12 Então Davi deu ordem aos rapazes, e eles os mataram, e cortaram-lhes as mãos e os pés, e penduraram-nos sobre o tanque, em Hebrom. Depois tomaram a cabeça de Is-Bosete, e enterraram-na no sepulcro de Abner em Hebrom.
