The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Duo autem viri principes latronum erant filio Saul, nomen uni Baana, et nomen alteri Rechab, filii Remmon Berothitæ de filiis Benjamin : siquidem et Beroth reputata est in Benjamin.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ δύο ἄνδρες ἡγούμενοι συστρεμμάτων τῷ Μεμφιβόσθε υἱῷ Σαούλ· ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βαανά, καὶ ὄνομα τῷ δευτέρῳ Ῥηχάβ, υἱοὶ Ῥεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμείν, ὅτι Βηρὼθ ἐλογίζετο τοῖς υἱοῖς Βενιαμείν.
Hebrew (WLC): וּשְׁנֵ֣י אֲנָשִׁ֣ים שָׂרֵֽי גְדוּדִ֣ים הָי֪וּ בֶן שָׁא֟וּל שֵׁם֩ הָאֶחָ֨ד בַּֽעֲנָ֜ה וְשֵׁ֧ם הַשֵּׁנִ֣י רֵכָ֗ב בְּנֵ֛י רִמּ֥וֹן הַבְּאֶֽרֹתִ֖י מִבְּנֵ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ן כִּ֚י גַּם בְּאֵר֔וֹת תֵּחָשֵׁ֖ב עַל בִּנְיָמִֽן

Haydock's commentary

Bands, (Latronum.) Literally, "robbers," or people who live on plunder, like the posterity of Ismael, and of Esau, Genesis xxvii. 40. The life-guards of princes are often styled latrones, (Calmet) from their being stationed at their "sides," as if Laterones. (Menochius)

Fixumque latronis,

Impavidus frangit telum. (Virgil, Æneid xii. 7.)

See Servius. (Judges xi. 3.)

Beroth was one of the towns of the Gabaonites. It is not certain that the inhabitants retired, in consequence of the persecution of Saul; but they went to the territory of Geth, or to another town of Benjamin, 2 Esdras xi. 33. (Calmet)
