9 Then David answered Recab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he said to them, “⌊As Yahweh lives⌋,g 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⌋,h I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was as my giving the news back to him. 11 ⌊How much more⌋i 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?” 12 Then David commanded the young men, and they killed them, and they cut off their hands and their feet, and they hung them at the pool at Hebron, but the head of Ish-Bosheth they took and buried in the grave of Abner at Hebron.
