Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah,
    • B 2 and the name of the other Rechab,
      • C 2-3 the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin: And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
        • D 4 And Jonathan,
          • E 4 Saul's son,
            • F 4 had a son that was lame of his feet.
          • E' 4 He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul
        • D' 4 and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
      • C' 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite,
    • B' 5 Rechab
  • A' 5 and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
