2Sa 4:2-3 | MHM | STEP | v. 2–3 : The murderers of Ish-bosheth were two brothers, Baanah and Rechab, who had been his servants (2 Samuel 4:2–3 ). They were Benjamites, from the same tribe as Saul, and came from the city of Beeroth. Beeroth was originally part of Benjamin’s territory (Joshua 18:25 ), but its people had moved to Gittaim, possibly for safety after Saul’s death. These brothers betrayed Ish-bosheth, showing how treachery can come from those closest to us.
