2 Samuel 4:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the Lord lives, ^(A)who has redeemed my life from all distress, ^10 (B)when one told me, saying, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and ^[a]thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news. ¹¹ How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now ^(C)require his blood from your hand and ^[b]destroy you from the earth?”
