“And they brought the head of Ish–bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish–bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.”
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron — The killers present themselves to David, offering the head as trophy. Their expectation is reward: they imagine David will rejoice at Ish-bosheth's elimination. Yet they have fundamentally misread David's moral framework.
