2 Samuel 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 4:6

And they came thither into the midst of the house
They not only came unto it, but entered into it, and went into the inmost part of it; the guards being asleep also perhaps, or not on duty, so that there were none to obstruct them; or if there were, they deceived them, since they went in

[as though] they would have fetched wheat;
out of the king's granaries, for the payment and support of the soldiers under them, who in those days were paid in corn, as were the Roman soldiers F25 in later times; and these granaries might not only be in the king's house, but near his bedchamber; for in those ancient ages of simplicity there was not such grandeur in the courts of princes as now; the Targum is,

``as sellers of wheat,''

in the guise and habit of such persons, pretending they came to sell wheat to the king's purveyors, who were at the granaries; or, as others interpret it, they went in along with the wheat merchants as if they belonged to them, and so found their way to the king's bedchamber:

and smote him under the fifth [rib]; (See Gill on 2 Samuel 2:23);

and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped;
they got out of the palace after they had committed the murder undiscovered and unsuspected.

2 Samuel 4:6 In-Context

4 Por otra parte, JonatĂĄn hijo de SaĂșl tenĂ­a un hijo de cinco años, llamado Mefiboset, que estaba tullido. Resulta que cuando de Jezrel llegĂł la noticia de la muerte de SaĂșl y JonatĂĄn, su nodriza lo cargĂł para huir pero, con el apuro, se le cayĂł y por eso quedĂł cojo.
5 Ahora bien, Recab y Banå, los hijos de Rimón el berotita, partieron para la casa de Isboset y llegaron a la hora mås calurosa del día, cuando él dormía la siesta.
6 Con el pretexto de sacar un poco de trigo, Recab y su hermano Banå entraron al interior de la casa, y allí mismo lo apuñalaron en el vientre. Después de eso, escaparon.
7 Se habían metido en la casa mientras Isboset estaba en la alcoba, acostado en su cama. Lo mataron a puñaladas, y luego le cortaron la cabeza y se la llevaron. Caminaron toda la noche por el Arabå
8 y, al llegar a HebrĂłn, le entregaron a David la cabeza de Isboset, diciendo:—Mire, Su Majestad: aquĂ­ le traemos la cabeza de Isboset, hijo de su enemigo SaĂșl, que intentĂł matarlo a usted. El SEÑOR ha vengado hoy a Su Majestad por lo que SaĂșl y su descendencia le hicieron.
