According to the Hebrew Bible, Ish-bosheth (; Standard: (unicode:Ishbóshet); Tiberian: (unicode:ʼΚbṓšeṯ)) also called Eshbaal (; Standard: (unicode:Eshbáʻal); Tiberian: (unicode:ʼEšbáʻal)), Ashbaal or Ishbaal, was one of the four sons of King Saul, born c. 1047 BC. Ish-bosheth was chosen as the second king over the Kingdom of Israel, which then consisted of all the twelve tribes of the Israelites, after the death of his father and three brothers at the Battle of Mount Gilboa. ==Reign and death== In the Biblical story, Ish-bosheth was proclaimed king over Israel in 1007 B.C. by Abner, the captain of Saul's army, at Mahanaim in Transjordan (), after his father and brothers were slain in the battle of Gilboa (). Ish-bosheth was 40 years old at this time and reigned for two years. () However, after the death of King Saul, the tribe of Judah seceded from the rule of the House of Saul by proclaiming David as its king, and war ensued. () David's faction eventually prevailed against Ish-bosheth's (), but the war did not come to a close until Abner joined David. () David's terms for peace required that Michal (Saul's daughter and Ish-bosheth's sister who had been David's wife before David and Saul fell out with each other) be returned to him, which Ish-bosheth fulfilled. () After Abner's death Ish-bosheth seems to have given up hope of retaining power. () Ish-bosheth was assassinated in c 1005 B.C. by two of his own army-captains, Rechab and Baanah (), who expected a reward from David because of this. David, however, refused to give any commendation for high treason; he had both killers hanged with their hands and feet cut off. Ish-bosheth was buried in Abner's grave at Hebron. () There is a void in the Biblical account as to what happened to the kingship of the non-Judah tribes of the Israelites during the five years following the murder of Ish-bosheth, as the united kingship of David is dated as 1000 B.C. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ish-bosheth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
