10:003:030 So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had
           slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

10:003:031 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with
           him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn
           before Abner.  And king David himself followed the bier.

10:003:032 And they buried Abner in Hebron:  and the king lifted up his
           voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people
           wept.

10:003:033 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a
           fool dieth?

10:003:034 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters:  as a
           man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou.  And all the
           people wept again over him.

10:003:035 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while
           it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more
           also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.

10:003:036 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them:  as
           whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.

10:003:037 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it
           was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.

10:003:038 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is
           a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

10:003:039 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men
           the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me:  the lord shall reward
           the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

10:004:001 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his
           hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

10:004:002 And Saul’s son had two men that were captains of bands:  the
           name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab,
           the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: 
           (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.

10:004:003 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there
           until this day.)

10:004:004 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 Mephibosheth.

10:004:005 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,
           went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of
           Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.

10:004:006 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though
           they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the
           fifth rib:  and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
