2 Samuel 4:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 4

6 Eles entraram no meio da casa como quem vinha buscar trigo, e lhe feriram na quinta costela. E Recabe e seu irmão Baaná escaparam.

7 Pois, quando entraram na casa, estando ele em sua cama em seu quarto, feriram-no de morte, e cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e, havendo-a tomado, caminharam toda a noite pelo caminho da planície.

8 E trouxeram a cabeça de Is-Bosete a Davi em Hebrom, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Is-Bosete, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que procurava matar-te; e o SENHOR vingou hoje ao meu senhor, o rei, de Saul e de sua descendência.

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.
