1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Ba´anah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beer´othite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beer´oth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 and the Beer´othites fled to Gitta´im, and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephib´osheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beer´othite, Rechab and Ba´anah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish–bo´sheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
