Guiding Questions: II Samuel 4

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Why did Rechab and Baanah, Ish-Boshet’s personal guards, kill him?
  2. What is the meaning of the name “Ish Boshet”? What is the meaning of the name “Rimon”?
  3. Note: Things are not as David might have wanted them to be, but he has consolidated his power to a great extent.
  4. While David may have been correctly angry at Rechab and Baanah, why did he react so severely?
