And Memphibosthe son of Saul had two men who were leaders of bands: the name of the one was Baana and the name of the second was Rhechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite, of the sons of Benjamin; for Beroth also was reckoned to the sons of Benjamin.
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son stricken in the feet, a son of five years. When the report about Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, his nurse took him up and fled; and as she hurried and withdrew, he fell and became lame. And his name was Memphibosthe.
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rekcha and Baana, went and came into the house of Memphibosthe in the heat of the day, while he was sleeping on his bed at noon.
And they came into the house, and Memphibosthe was sleeping on his bed in his bedchamber; and they struck him and put him to death and removed his head; and they took his head and went by the road toward the west all night.
And they brought the head of Memphibosthe to David in Hebron and said to the king, Behold, the head of Memphibosthe son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has given to my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as on this day, from Saul your enemy and from his seed.
And David answered Rekcha and Baana his brother, sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, As the Lord lives, who redeemed my life out of all affliction,
the one who reported to me that Saul was dead, and who was as one bringing good news before me, I seized and killed in Sekelak, he to whom I ought to have given a reward for the good news.
And now wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house upon his bed; and now I will require his blood from your hand and destroy you from the earth.
And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and their feet and hanged them up by the spring in Hebron; but the head of Memphibosthe they buried in the tomb of Abenner son of Ner.
