2 Samuel 4:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ They came as far as the middle of the house as if takers of wheat, and they struck him in the stomach. Then Recab and Baanah his brother escaped. ⁷ When they had come into the house, he was lying on his couch in his bedchamber,^[a] and they attacked him and killed him. Then they beheaded him,^[b] and they took his head and went on the way of the Arabah all night. ⁸ They brought the head of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron, and they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life. Yahweh has given to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul and on his offspring.”
