This Rimmon (distinct from the deity and place names) was a man from Beeroth in Benjamin, father of Rechab and Baanah. His sons were military captains under Ish-bosheth who assassinated Saul's son, bringing his head to David in hopes of reward. David instead executed them for killing a righteous man in his house, then displayed their bodies publicly. The name Rimmon was evidently used for both deities and people in ancient Israel.
