2 Samuel 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.	1 E udì il figliuolo di Saul, che Abner era morto in Ebron; e furono debilitate le sue mani, e tutto Israel fu conturbato.
2 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:	2 E col figliuolo di Saul erano due uomini, principi de' ladroni; l'uno avea nome Baana, e l'altro avea nome Recab, figliuoli di Remmon di Berot dei figliuoli di Beniamin; e Berot era reputata di Beniamin.
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)	3 E fuggirono quelli di Berot in Getaim, e furono ivi avveniticci insino a quel tempo.
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 Mephibosheth.	4 E avea Ionata, figliuolo di Saul, uno figliuolo debile di piedi; ed era di cinque anni, quando furono portate novelle di Saul e di Ionata di Iezrael; il quale tolse la sua balia e fuggì; e fuggendo in fretta, cadde e diventò zoppo; ed ebbe nome Mifiboset.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.	5 Or venendo i figliuoli di Remmon di Berot, Recab e Baana, entrarono in casa di Isboset nel caldo del dì; il quale nel mezzodì dormia in su il suo letto; e quella che guardava l' uscio, mondando grano, era addormentata.
6 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.	6 Ed entrando in casa, tollendo spighe di grano, e Recab e Baana suo fratello il ferirono nell' inguine (giacendosi sopra il suo letto, e ucciserlo), e fuggirono.
7 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.	7 E tolto il suo capo, andarono per la via del deserto tutta notte.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth 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.	8 E portarono il capo di Isboset a David in Ebron, e dissero al re: ecco il capo del tuo nemico Isboset figliuolo di Saul, il quale cercava dell' anima tua: e ha dato Iddio al nostro signore re, e vendetta di Saul, e del suo seme.
9 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,	9 E respondendo David a Baana e a Recab suo fratello figliuoli di Remmon di Berot, disse loro: vive il Signore, che ha liberata l'anima mia d'ogni· angoscia;
10 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 che quelli che m'annunziò che Saul era morto, credendo nunziarmi cose prospere, io il presi e uccisilo in Siceleg; al quale mi convenia dare mercede per novella.
11 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?	11 Quanto maggiormente ora che uomini empii hanno morto il suo signore in casa sua, uomo innocente, nel suo letto, ora richiederò io il sangue suo delle vostre mani, e leverovvi di sopra la terra?
12 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 Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.	12 E comandò David a' servi suoi; e uccisergli, e tagliate loro le mani e i piedi, impiccarongli sopra la piscina in Ebron; e il capo di Isboset tolsero, e seppellironlo nel sepolcro di Abner in Ebron.
