When Ish-bosheth hears that Abner is dead, his courage fails and Israel is troubled. Two captains, Rechab and Baanah, enter Ish-bosheth’s house and murder him on his bed, then carry his head to David at Hebron expecting approval. David reminds them how he dealt with the Amalekite who claimed to kill Saul and orders the assassins executed, while Ish-bosheth receives an honorable burial.
