The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin; Jos 18:25Jos 9:172Ki 5:22Ki 6:232Sa 3:22 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today). Neh 11:331Sa 31:7
Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled.
