10:004:007 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his
           bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded
           him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain
           all night.

10:004:008 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron,
           and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of
           Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the lord hath
           avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

10:004:009 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of
           Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the lord liveth,
           who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

10:004:010 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to
           have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in
           Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for
           his tidings: 

10:004:011 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person
           in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now
           require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the
           earth?

10:004:012 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut
           off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the
           pool in Hebron.  But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and
           buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

10:005:001 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and
           spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

10:005:002 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he
           that leddest out and broughtest in Israel:  and the lord said
           to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a
           captain over Israel.

10:005:003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and
           king David made a league with them in Hebron before the lord
           and they anointed David king over Israel.

10:005:004 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he
           reigned forty years.

10:005:005 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: 
           and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all
           Israel and Judah.

10:005:006 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites,
           the inhabitants of the land:  which spake unto David, saying,
           Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not
           come in hither:  thinking, David cannot come in hither.

10:005:007 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion:  the same is
           the city of David.
