Chapter 4 of II Samuel on Wrong Doing Expecting a Reward

Presumption To Be Rewarded

This is the dilemma of those who worship other gods, that they are on the right path.

When in fact, the Hebrew Scripture abhor such teaching and practice – I.e. Jesus, Trinity, Triune, 3-in-1 and others.

You choose convenience and comfort over truth that G-d Himself has spoken from Genesis to Malachi?

You will be responsible of your choice and action in due time.

“Assassination Gone Wrong”

Saul’s son heard that Abner had died in Hebron and he despaired, and all Israel was shocked.
4:1
(Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame. he had been five years old when word came from Jezreel about [the deaths of] Saul and Jonathan; his nursemaid had picked him up and fled, and in her hurry to flee she dropped him and he became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.)
:4
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite — Rechab and Banaah — went forth, and arrived in the heat of the day at the house of Ish-bosheth, while he was having his afternoon rest.
:5
Behold — they entered into the house [posing] as wheat merchants and struck him in the fifth rib; then Rechab and his brother Baanah escaped.
:6
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, son of Saul your enemy, who sought [to take] your life! Hashem has granted my lord the king revenge from Saul and his offspring this day!”
:8
David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Hashem lives, Who has redeemed my soul from all adversity.
:9
if the one who informed me, saying, ‘Behold! Saul is dead, saw himself as a bearer of good tidings, yet I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, instead of giving him [reward for his] tidings,
:10
surely [this should be done] to wicked people who have killed an innocent man in his house upon his bed! Shall I not avenge his blood from your hand and eradicate you from the earth?”
:11
David then commanded the soldiers and they killed them. They cut off their hands and feet, and hung them over the pool in Hebron. Then they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried [it] in Abner’s tomb, in Hebron.
:12

1 And Saul’s son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, and his hands became feeble, and all Israel were dismayed.
2 And Saul’s son had two men, the heads of troops. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the second was Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, (for Beeroth was also counted to Benjamin.
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and they were living there until this day).
4 And Jonathan, the son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse carried him and fled; and it was in her haste to flee, that he fell and became lame, and his name was Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, when he was taking his midday rest.
6 And they came inside the house [as] buyers of wheat, and they struck him under the fifth rib, and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 And they came into the house and he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they struck him and put him to death, and they removed his head, and they took his head and went by way of the plain all night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David to Hebron, and they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life. And the Lord has granted my lord the king vengeance this day of Saul and of his seed.”
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite and said to them, “As the Lord lives, Who delivered my person from every distress.
10 That he who told me saying, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and he was in his own eyes as a herald of good tidings, I took hold of him and slew him in Ziglag, who [had expected] me to give him a reward for good tidings.
11 ‘How much more when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house on his bed. And now, shall I not hold you accountable for his blood, and remove you from the earth?”
12 And David commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ish-bosheth they took and buried in the grave of Abner in Hebron.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
