2 Samuel 4:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ Then David answered Recab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he said to them, “As Yahweh lives,^[a] who redeemed my soul from all trouble, ¹⁰ when the one who told me, “Look, Saul is dead,” thought that he was bringing good news,^[b] I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was as my giving the news back to him. ¹¹ How much more^[c] when wicked men kill a righteous man in his house, on his bed! So then, shall I not seek his lifeblood from your hand, so that I may destroy you from the earth?”
