2 Sam. 4:6      2 Sam. 4:8

Second Samuel 4:7

For when they entered the house where he [King Ish-Bosheth] was lying on his bed in the inner chamber, they struck him and killed him, and cut off his head, and took his head and went all night by the way of the Arabah [desert road].
[This verse provides more details. Taking the head was a way of proving that King Ish-Bosheth was dead. They carry this gruesome trophy in their hands and set off on the more desolate road south of Machanajim along the Jordan Valley north of the Dead Sea during the afternoon and evening. The time of day and the heat make the road quite deserted, and they are not discovered by any ally of Saul's house on their way down to David in Hebron.]
