2 Samuël 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 4:2

And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands
Of troops in the army, or of guards about the person of Ishbosheth son of Saul:

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;
so that these men were brethren in nature, as well as in iniquity; they had the same father, who is described by his name and city, and their names are expressly mentioned and recorded to their infamy; and they were not only the servants of Ishbosheth, who had commissions under him, but were of the same tribe with him; all which is observed as an aggravation of their crime:

for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin;
the place from whom Rimmon their father is denominated, and where he dwelt, as well as Gittaim, where they had sojourned, as in ( 2 Samuel 4:3 ) . This place, Beeroth, originally belonged to the Gibeonites, and fell to the lot of Benjamin at the division of the land, see ( Joshua 9:17 ) ( 18:25 ) .

2 Samuël 4:2 In-Context

1 Als nu Sauls zoon hoorde, dat Abner te Hebron gestorven was, werden zijn handen slap, en gans Israel werd verschrikt.
2 En Sauls zoon had twee mannen, oversten van benden; de naam des enen was Baena, en de naam des anderen Rechab, zonen van Rimmon, den Beerothiet, van de kinderen van Benjamin; want ook Beeroth werd aan Benjamin gerekend.
3 En de Beerothieten waren gevloden naar Gitthaim, en waren aldaar vreemdelingen tot op dezen dag.
4 En Jonathan, Sauls zoon, had een zoon, die geslagen was aan beide voeten; vijf jaren was hij oud als het gerucht van Saul en Jonathan uit Jizreel kwam; en zijn voedster hem opnam, en vluchtte; en het geschiedde, als zij haastte, om te vluchten, dat hij viel en kreupel werd; en zijn naam was Mefiboseth.
5 En de zonen van Rimmon: den Beerothiet, Rechab en Baena, gingen heen, en kwamen ten huize van Isboseth, als de dag heet geworden was; en hij lag op de slaapstede, in den middag.
