Who this is

Ish-bosheth was Saul's surviving son, installed as a rival king over Israel by Saul's general Abner while David ruled only Judah, and after Abner defected to David's side, two of Ish-bosheth's own captains assassinated him in his bed, bringing his brief and largely powerless reign to an end.
