One of two captains who assassinated Ish-bosheth — and got executed for it
Along with his brother Rechab, Baanah murdered Ish-bosheth (Saul's son and rival king) in his bed and brought his head to David, expecting a reward (2 Samuel 4). David was furious — he'd already executed the man who claimed to kill Saul. He had Baanah and Rechab killed and their bodies publicly displayed. Crime did not pay.
