2 Sam. 4:5      2 Sam. 4:7

Second Samuel 4:6

And they came close, into the middle of the house as if they were going to fetch wheat [in an inner storeroom]. And they struck (stabbed – Hebr. naka) him [Ish-Bosheth] in the chest (abdomen, "the fifth" – Hebr. chomesh) and Rechav and his brother Baana fled.
[As military leaders, Rechav and Baana could fetch rations of wheat for their subordinates; they had surely done this before. Now they used this reason as a pretext to enter the central parts of the palace. The Greek translation Septuagint states that "the female gatekeeper was threshing wheat, but had fallen asleep," which allowed them to enter unnoticed. Ish-Bosheth is killed in a similar manner to Asahel and Avner, see 2 Sam. 2:23; 3:27. Hebrew chomesh means five, and may refer to the fifth "rib," i.e., in the heart of the chest. In 2 Sam. 20:10, the result is that the entrails spilled out, which indicates that it is the lower part of the chest toward the abdomen that is meant.]
